AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoFlu watch: Solomon Islands’ Ministry of Health reports a sustained rise in influenza-like illness across six provinces (Honiara plus Western, Malaita, Central, Isabel and Makira) from 24 Aug–13 Sep, with influenza A found in most samples so far; people are urged to keep up basic hygiene and stay alert for symptoms. Care closer to home: The Ministry is also urging the public to use nearby community clinics (including Honiara City Council clinics) for common, non-emergency issues like coughs, colds, fever, diarrhoea, wound care, malaria screening and blood sugar checks—so the NRH Emergency Department can focus on life-threatening cases. Hospital security: NRH says theft and security breaches plus overcrowding are driving new measures, including CCTV and fencing, with RSIPF support. Farmers and nutrition links: SIART (World Bank-funded) says 14,665 farmers in Guadalcanal, Malaita and Makira/Ulawa are benefiting from SBD38.08m in grants to agribusiness producer organisations, supporting value chains like cocoa, coconut, piggery, poultry and food crops. Climate and health risk: Forum SG Baron Waqa hailed the ICJ climate advisory opinion as a legal milestone for climate justice, as leaders—including PNG and Solomon Islands—pressed for real emissions cuts and accessible climate finance.
