AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoRegional Health Leadership: Ian A. Stein took up his role as PAHO/WHO representative for The Bahamas and Turks & Caicos on October 22. He brings more than 30 years of public health experience, including work on emergency response and stronger health systems. Screening Findings: A free Providenciales health mission found high blood pressure in nearly eight in 10 people screened, dangerously high readings in about one in seven, and vision concerns among 420 schoolchildren. The ministry says people with concerning results received advice and referrals; follow-up checks are important, since one screening does not establish a diagnosis.
