AGP Executive Report

Last update: 38 minutes ago

River Blindness: WHO says 180.3 million people received preventive treatment for onchocerciasis in 2025, or 70.5% of those who needed it. Gabon was among three countries that did not carry out mass treatment that year; WHO also flagged safety concerns linked to co-infection with Loa loa. Unsafe Medicines: A UN-backed report says authorities seized at least 251 tonnes of illicit medical products across six Central African countries, including Gabon, from 2020 to 2025. The products included counterfeit, substandard, unapproved or diverted medicines. The seizures highlight a serious regional health risk, but do not measure the full scale of the trade.
