AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoRoad Safety & Child Health: Cabo Verde has declared two days of national mourning after a bus crash on Fogo Island killed at least 25 people, most of them children and teenagers, with 12 still receiving treatment and two reported in serious condition; the bus veered off the Campanas de Cima mountain route and plunged about 30 metres into a ravine, and the driver—who had privately arranged the annual excursion—was among the dead. Health System Response: The government says a crisis response team and a 16-member medical unit were sent to reinforce local care, and it is in contact with partners about possible evacuation for specialized treatment. Public Health Risk Context: Separately, Africa CDC highlights how rumours can fuel disease outbreaks, while a new Africa Air Quality Brief reports many countries—including Senegal and Cape Verde—breached WHO air pollution daily limits for months in 2025, raising respiratory health concerns. Vaccine Confidence Watch: South Africa’s childhood vaccination decline is linked to low demand and missed health-system opportunities, with measles and diphtheria outbreaks noted.
