Guinea Bissau Health Bulletin

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Breast Cancer Awareness: ECOWAS held an outreach campaign in Bissau for students, military personnel and residents, urging women to seek care for unusual breast lumps, skin or shape changes, or nipple discharge. Food and Nutrition: A WFP-backed village project in Gabú links school meals with community farming, poultry, sewing skills and solar-powered irrigation to strengthen children’s nutrition and local livelihoods. Hepatitis B Study Halted: Guinea-Bissau authorities refused approval for a controversial newborn vaccine trial, and judicial police seized vaccine doses during an investigation. The proposed study would have delayed the birth dose for half the infants enrolled. Polio: Guinea-Bissau was among five African countries that closed type 2 polio outbreaks in August. WHO says funding shortfalls and vaccination gaps still threaten eradication efforts across the region.
