AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Hospital Tech & Procurement: Guyana has terminated VAMED Engineering contracts for the Ogle Children and Maternity Hospital and the New Amsterdam Hospital Campus, citing delays and breaches, and is now moving disputes to international arbitration at the International Chamber of Commerce while seeking to claim performance bonds. Public Investment Protection: Government says it also moved to secure sites and materials and invoke contract performance security after the July 23, 2026 shutdown. Healthcare Delivery Results: President Ali says the six new regional hospitals are already delivering—about 3,700 surgeries, 1M+ lab tests, 82,200 X-rays, 37,700 ultrasounds, 13,680 CT scans, 101,000+ specialist visits, 2,400 births, and 280,000 prescriptions—with short waiting times. AI & Media Governance: At the CBU’s 57th AGM, leaders urged responsible AI use in Caribbean journalism, warning against misinformation during emergencies. Education Tech & Outcomes: Guyana reports a 67% pass rate at CSEC 2026 and highlights strong CAPE gains, including 100% passes in multiple subjects like Computer Science and Digital Media. Gold Sector Investment: Avalon Gold’s Omai Preliminary Economic Assessment points to a potential ~GY$300B investment and major job creation if advanced. Legal Tech/Contracts Clash: Sigma Engineers and Mohamed Aqtar Ali’s side are threatening defamation action over Azruddin Mohamed’s claims about procurement and ownership links, while Sigma denies wrongdoing and says it’s pursuing legal steps. Health Promotion Tech: China commissioned a new Health Promotion Centre in Guyana with free smart testing and fitness equipment for the public.
