AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Iboga Protection: A US executive order has put Gabon’s sacred iboga plant in the spotlight as drug companies explore its potential for addiction treatment. Bwiti practitioners stress that iboga is part of a wider spiritual tradition, while rising foreign demand raises concerns about protecting the plant and its cultural use. River Blindness: WHO says Gabon was among countries that did not carry out mass treatment for onchocerciasis in 2025. The agency also flags Loa loa co-infection as a safety concern, underscoring the challenges of delivering treatment.
