AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Obesity Care: GLP-1 drugs can help, but Discovery Vitality’s Dr Musima Mabunda says lasting weight management also needs structured nutrition and physical activity; stopping medication may lead to weight regain. Malaria Alert: Gauteng recorded 768 cases and 17 deaths by September, prompting calls for travel precautions. Blood Supply: SANBS says stocks have fallen to just 2.4 days, well below the seven days it considers comfortable, and is urging more people to donate. Maternal and Newborn Health: KwaZulu-Natal recorded 4,047 perinatal deaths in 2024, among the country’s highest totals; Stats SA warns deaths outside facilities may go unregistered. Heat and Health: Johannesburg will close public pools from 16 November because of a chlorine shortage, as hotter weather approaches. Access to Care: A long-delayed clinic in Klipfontein View remains unfinished, leaving residents travelling to facilities in nearby areas.
