AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Chronic Disease Prevention: BVI Health Minister Vincent Wheatley says diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and some cancers are placing a heavy burden on residents and the health system. He urged people to get screened, move more and eat well ahead of the BVI Wellness Fest on November 7. Environmental Health: Residents near Tortola’s Pockwood Pond landfill report smoke and small fires continuing for more than three weeks. Officials say they are seeking a lasting fix as nearby communities call for relief. Domestic Violence: Police recorded 266 domestic-related offences in the BVI from January to August—nearly half of all serious and minor assaults in that period, the health minister said, underscoring the need for protection and support services.
