AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Child Wellbeing: UNICEF found that 54.9% of Dominican children ages 1–14 experienced violent discipline, despite only 12.1% of caregivers saying physical punishment is necessary. The study points to social norms, caregiver stress and limited support as contributing factors. Dengue Prevention: The Health Ministry is urging Dominicans to strengthen prevention measures, keeping mosquito control and public awareness in focus. Cancer Care: A report on the Dominican Republic’s cancer burden highlights late diagnosis and the high cost of treatment, underscoring barriers patients face. Food Security: FAO recognized the country for coming off its Hunger Map, while President Luis Abinader’s government was praised for efforts to improve food access and support local producers.
