AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoSchool Health Survey: Montserrat’s Ministry of Health and Social Services, with the Ministry of Education and PAHO, will run the WHO Global School Health Survey among Secondary School students in October, updating how young people’s health, behaviours and wellbeing have changed since the last survey in 2008 and informing future health planning. Cost-of-Living Coping: The Government of Montserrat is advising residents to use practical “belt-tightening” as global prices and aid limits squeeze household budgets, with the Premier warning that imports like food, vehicles and building materials will keep rising. Visceral Fat & Carbs: A wellness piece argues that exercise alone may not shift visceral fat, and that carbs aren’t the enemy—what matters is choosing, preparing and portioning carbohydrate-rich foods. Perimenopause & Weight: Another health feature highlights how sleep disruption, hormones and chronic stress can block weight-loss progress even with regular gym visits, especially for women in perimenopause. Regional Services Training: OECS is delivering EU-funded specialised training for trade in services stakeholders across Protocol member states, with a final virtual session planned for Montserrat in September. Local Sports (Cancer Support): Harbor High’s girls volleyball team won a five-set Dig Pink match against Aptos, raising funds for the American Cancer Society.
