AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoFood Safety & Nutrition: Fiji, Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu officials met in Suva for a two-week training on new EU freezer vessel rules (Delegated Regulation EU 2025/1449) that could affect about 97% of EU-listed Pacific Island-flagged exporters, after EU auditors found tuna not consistently reaching the required -18°C in brine; the update matters for public health because improperly frozen tuna can lead to histamine (scombroid poisoning). Health Systems & Access to Care: India says it has delivered a haemo-dialysis machine with a portable RO unit to Samoa under FIPIC-III, and previously shipped a container-based dialysis unit to Kiribati—support that can directly improve access to kidney care. Climate, Health & Community Risk: Pacific leaders at the Pacific Islands Forum Women Leaders Meeting in Suva warned that rising fuel prices, supply chain pressure and conflict impacts are straining essential services, including health, especially for women, youth and people with disabilities. Veterans’ Health & Claims: In the U.S., veterans and families harmed by toxic water at Camp Lejeune plan a protest at the Capitol over long delays in compensation claims, highlighting how health harms can drag on for years without timely support.
