AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Medicine Safety: A UN, WHO and CEMAC report says authorities seized at least 251 tonnes of illicit medical products across Central Africa, including Gabon, from 2020 to 2025. The trade includes counterfeit, unapproved and diverted medicines, from antibiotics to antimalarials, and can cause treatment failures, poisoning and avoidable deaths. The report links the market to gaps in access to safe, affordable medicines. Iboga Policy: Gabon has halted exports of iboga and its derivatives while it develops rules for sharing benefits from the medicinal plant. The move freezes legal community trade as the country works out how to ensure local communities receive a fair share of its growing global value. Older People’s Well-being: Libreville held Gabon’s first National Day for Retirees and Older Persons on October 1. The annual event puts access to healthcare, home support and dignity in retirement on the policy agenda.
