AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoHeat Safety: Macau’s Health Bureau (DH/CHP) is urging residents to prevent heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heatstroke during very hot weather—drink water, wear light breathable clothing, avoid strenuous outdoor activity (especially midday), and skip caffeine/alcohol; higher-risk groups (elderly, infants/children, pregnant women, people with chronic illness, overweight and outdoor/manual workers) should take extra care. Mosquito Control & Dengue/Chikungunya: SSM says Aedes breeding remains at yellow-alert levels and has intensified community inspections and trials of 30 smart mosquito traps at Conde S. Januário Hospital and other health sites, with plans to expand if effective as imported cases raise local transmission risk. Infectious Disease Watch: June notifiable cases rose to 2,755, led by influenza (2,154), with big month-on-month increases in enterovirus, norovirus and scarlet fever—prompting continued prevention and monitoring. Tobacco Prevention: Macau will roll out its first official outdoor no-smoking zones at key public areas (including Dr. Carlos d’Assumpção Park, Border Gate Square and Ruins of St. Paul’s precinct), with a 10-metre rule around entrances/exits of hospitals, schools and childcare facilities. Oncology & Rare Disease News: Local-relevant pharma updates include GSK’s FDA approval of Jideytro (ROS1 lung cancer) and China’s nod for Haisco’s sipupopan succinate for a rare blood disorder (PNH), plus Menarini Asia-Pacific’s partnership to bring Cosela® supportive care to Hong Kong/Macau and other markets.
