AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoEarly Menopause: A new BMJ Global Health study estimates early menopause affects about 1 in 14 women aged 30–49 in low- and middle-income countries, with higher rates in rural areas and links to higher risks like heart disease and osteoporosis—Gabon is among the countries included. Tobacco Control Funding: Nigeria’s Tobacco Control Alliance says it received only N28 million for tobacco control from 2023–2025, warning the shortfall undermines enforcement of smoke-free laws and cessation services. Heat and Electricity Gaps: Ghana could face a “mortality-cooling trap,” with projections of about 19 extra heat-related deaths per 100,000 people by 2050 unless electricity growth keeps up with cooling needs. Ghana–Gabon Health Cooperation: Ghana and Gabon signed MoUs during high-level talks in Accra, including cooperation areas that explicitly cover health alongside trade, mining, energy, education, and transport. US Visa Processing Shift for Gabon: From August 1, Gabonese applicants must handle most routine U.S. visa procedures in Yaoundé as the U.S. Embassy in Cameroon becomes the regional hub. Supplement Watch: Multiple “blood sugar/weight loss” supplement promotions are circulating, including Sugar Reset and Gelatide, so readers should be cautious and check claims and safety before use.
