AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Rohingya Repatriation Safety Concerns: Malaysia has started sending back 1,476 Myanmar nationals, including Rohingya, in the first phase of a plan for about 5,000 returns, using two naval warships and a hospital ship—despite UNHCR warnings that Myanmar remains unsafe and that returns must be voluntary, informed, and dignified. Myanmar Violence Alarm: The UN is also alarmed by reports that a Myanmar airstrike near the Bangladesh border killed 50 people and wounded dozens, underscoring risks for displaced communities. Cholera Watch (Global): WHO says cholera deaths rose 30% in 2025 to 7,870, with Africa driving most of the burden; Nigeria and six others account for about 90% of reported cases and deaths. Bangladesh Cholera Vaccination Update: Bangladesh’s first oral cholera vaccination round reached 82.6% coverage, but 8.52 lakh people missed the first dose, with Narayanganj the biggest gap. Dengue Surge: DGHS reports 6 more dengue deaths and 1,942 new hospitalisations in 24 hours, pushing the yearly death toll to 239. Measles Crisis: Measles-related deaths have crossed 1,100 (suspected plus confirmed), with 5 more deaths and 1,339 new suspected cases reported in 24 hours. Heart Health Reminder: On World Heart Day, the health minister urged people not to ignore heart-disease warning signs and seek care early. Eye Health for Preemies (ROP): A seminar highlighted the need for timely screening and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity to prevent childhood blindness. Health System Funding: ECNEC approved major health-related projects, including an integrated health system response for TB, HIV/AIDS and malaria, and a revised plan for Patuakhali Medical College and Hospital. Local Health Access Pressure: A Barishal survey says over 1,000 ponds have disappeared in a decade, raising concerns for waterlogging and groundwater decline. Health Care Under Threat: Reports continue on attacks and vandalism linked to Mirpur’s Radda health centre, raising questions about timely law enforcement response. US Pharma Tariff Relief (Bangladesh Angle): Bangladesh’s pharma sector may see limited near-term gains because it produces fewer highly specialised medicines covered by the US tariff exemptions. Universal Registration Push: Civil society warns Bangladesh’s birth and death registration coverage is too low to meet 2030 goals, urging legal and implementation fixes.
