Guinea Bissau Health Bulletin

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Emergency Preparedness: A WHO and Africa CDC training opened in Cabo Verde on Nov. 9, bringing together 34 participants from Guinea-Bissau and four other Portuguese-speaking African countries to strengthen rapid responses to disease outbreaks and other emergencies. Animal Health: ECOWAS has relocated its Regional Animal Health Centre to Bissau, aiming to improve regional monitoring and control of animal and zoonotic diseases and support a One Health approach. Vaccine Trial: Guinea-Bissau has cancelled a proposed hepatitis B vaccine study involving 14,000 newborns after ethical concerns over delaying a WHO-recommended birth dose for half the babies. The government said the trial lacked required approval; experts warned that withholding protection could put infants at risk.
