AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoMosquito Control in Paraguay: Yguazú has started using the NASA-backed MosquitOFF app to forecast dengue, zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever risk by combining satellite weather data with local health reports, giving officials a daily score and a 7-day outlook to target hotspots. HIV Prevention Update for the Region: At the 26th AIDS Conference in Rio, Merck’s once-monthly PrEP candidate MK-8527 (alimatravir) was discussed as potentially among the cheapest options (around US$3 per person per year), though licensing reportedly excludes much of Latin America including Paraguay. Primary Care Partnership: The Bahamas joined PAHO’s Alliance for Primary Health Care in the Americas, aiming to strengthen primary health services through coordinated investment and technical support—an example of regional PHC momentum that Paraguay health leaders may watch. Children’s Health & Learning: Asunción’s Museum of Science (MuCi) launched August Children’s Month activities, including workshops and a total lunar eclipse observation, offering family-friendly science experiences. Health System Capacity via Training: A U.S.-Dominican Republic “Amistad 2026” mission (building on a Paraguay visit earlier this year) paired U.S. medical teams with local providers for family medicine, pediatrics, dentistry, and optometry.
