AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

HIV Prevention Rollout: Lenacapavir’s South Africa rollout is gaining momentum, with the Department of Health reporting 55,000+ people started injections at 360 public facilities across six provinces—but the real test is whether people return on schedule to stay protected. Primary Care Access: Gauteng Health is urging routine foot checks for diabetes patients, pushing prevention and early detection at clinic level. Public Health & Air Quality: New research links air pollution to worse nighttime coughing and poorer sleep, even at levels below WHO daily limits—another reason to treat clean air as a health issue. Cancer Support: Cupcakes of Hope is calling for volunteer bakers for National Cupcake Day (26 September) to raise funds for children with cancer and their families. Women’s Safety & Clinic Response: Cape Town residents handed an MEC memorandum after a woman died outside a clinic, spotlighting service delays and patient safety concerns. Food Security: DFFE has limited sardine fishing to 25% of TAC for permit holders while it investigates mass fish mortalities and pilchard herpesvirus impacts. Health Data Privacy: A UCT PhD student developed DPPAce, a mobile app to help hospital staff in Uganda comply with data protection rules in electronic health systems. Local Health System Pressure: Khayelitsha residents are calling for mobile clinics amid ongoing healthcare access struggles. Sports Medicine & Safety: A Hyrox incident sparked debate after an athlete appeared to compete while leaking faeces, raising questions about health and safety protocols in shared-event settings.
