AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoDengue Forecasting in Yguazú: Paraguay’s Yguazú municipality is rolling out MosquitOFF, a NASA-data plus local health records app that generates daily dengue risk scores and a 7-day outlook for all 218 municipalities, with a hyper-local map for city sub-neighborhoods to help SENEPA and local hospitals target mosquito breeding hot spots. HIV Prevention Update: At the 26th AIDS Conference in Rio, Merck’s once-monthly PrEP candidate (MK-8527/alimatravir) was discussed as potentially among the cheapest HIV prevention options, though licensing coverage 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 systems through coordinated investment and technical cooperation—an example of regional PHC momentum relevant to Paraguay’s health planning. Local Health & Community Life: Asunción’s Municipal Plant Nursery is undergoing a major renovation tied to Caballero Park’s revitalization, expected to finish late 2026, supporting urban greening that can improve community wellbeing. Wildlife Care: Asunción Zoo reported three new capybaras born in early August, with vets monitoring a gradual shift from mother’s milk to vegetation—another reminder of ongoing public health-adjacent work around animal care and habitats.
