AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoFlu alert: Solomon Islands’ Ministry of Health reports a sustained rise in influenza-like illness across Honiara and several provinces, with lab work in July–August finding influenza A in most samples while further testing continues. Care closer to home: MHMS is urging people with common, non-emergency symptoms (coughs, colds, fever, muscle aches, diarrhoea) to use nearby community clinics and Honiara City Council facilities, so the NRH Emergency Department can focus on critical cases. NRH security and crowding: NRH says theft and security breaches are rising and overcrowding is adding risk; it plans CCTV and fencing with RSIPF support, and warns unauthorised visitors may be turned away. Farm support under SIART: The World Bank-funded SIART project says 14,665 farmers in Guadalcanal, Malaita and Makira/Ulawa are benefiting through 96 agribusiness producer organisations, including cocoa, coconut, piggery, poultry and food crops. Climate push at UNGA: PM Matthew Wale joins regional leaders calling for real, grant-based climate finance and deeper emissions cuts, while PNG’s Marape demands industrial nations stop “empty promises.”
