AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Medicine Safety: A UN, WHO and CEMAC report warns that illicit medicine sales are a major public-health threat across Central Africa, including Gabon. Authorities seized at least 251 tonnes of medical products in the region from 2020 to 2025, including antibiotics and antimalarials. Counterfeit, substandard, diverted or unapproved drugs can cause treatment failures, poisoning and avoidable deaths. The report says high healthcare costs and limited access to safe medicines help drive the trade. Older People’s Health: Gabon’s first National Day for Retirees and Older Persons, held in Libreville on October 1, put elder well-being on the policy agenda. Officials honored older citizens, while the event raised questions about access to healthcare, home assistance and dignified retirement.
