AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Public Health Alert: Nineveh health authorities confirmed a new Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever case in a 24-year-old man, the second in the province in three days, with lab confirmation in Baghdad and treatment at Al-Salam/Al-Shifa hospitals—no deaths reported so far this year. Disease Control at Borders: Iraq suspended live-animal transit from Syria and tightened veterinary inspections after foot-and-mouth disease reports in Raqqa, keeping the ban until the situation is clearer. Environment Meets Health Policy: Iraq’s new government approved sweeping plastic-bag restrictions—ending free distribution within six months, banning use in bakeries, stopping imports, and adding fees on nylon bag factories—framing the move as a health and pollution safeguard. Regional Security Pressure: A separate report says US support for Kurdish Peshmerga forces may be reduced in a 2027 counter-ISIS budget request, though Iraq’s Peshmerga ministry denies any suspension.
