AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Vaping in pregnancy: Bermuda’s 2025 Survey of Pregnant Women flags vaping as an emerging concern, with 16.7% of respondents reporting e-cigarette or electronic nicotine use—up sharply from 3.1% six years earlier—prompting renewed calls for safer choices during pregnancy. Healthy schools: The Department of Health’s Healthy Schools Awards recognised 11 schools and 4 government preschools for consistently promoting healthy nutrition, wellness, and supportive environments for students and staff. Addiction rehab standards: Turning Point (Bermuda Hospitals Board) retained CARF accreditation for its addiction services wing, with programmes including intensive outpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, and withdrawal management—valid until 2029. Snake safety and preparedness: Authorities are still searching Southampton after a suspected eastern diamondback rattlesnake sighting; residents are urged to call 911, keep distance, and avoid handling, while antivenom has arrived and is available at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. Prison reintegration support: In the Senate, the Attorney-General backed Astor House, a renovated transitional housing and supervised support site for people leaving prison, citing research that stable housing and structured services can reduce reoffending. Prostate cancer screening push: A Caribbean prostate cancer genetic study is expanding from Bermuda to Grenada with free PSA tests for 1,000 men, building on earlier Bermuda and St Lucia cohorts. Community health policing: Police will hold an eastern parishes community clinic covering crime trends, cyber-enabled crime, drug trends, and financial crime, plus practical prevention advice. Cyber risk alert: Bermuda warned Fortinet users about the global “FortiBleed” credential compromise campaign targeting FortiGate and SSL VPN devices, urging urgent protective action.
