AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Health Workforce: Benin is requiring skills assessments for 15,398 foreign-trained doctors, pharmacists, nurses and midwives whose qualifications lack official recognition. The government says the checks will protect patients, while critics warn they could deepen staffing shortages. Counterfeit Medicines: Customs seized nearly two tons of fake medicines in Glazoué and intercepted two trucks in Bassila, in a push to keep unsafe drugs out of circulation. Women’s Safety: A proposed legal push against gender-based violence has sparked debate over whether stronger laws can deliver real protection for women and girls.
