Mosquito-borne disease alert: France reported 92 imported cases of arboviruses (79 dengue, 12 chikungunya, 1 Zika) from May 1–25, all linked to travel abroad, as the tiger mosquito is active and established across much of the country—health authorities urge vigilance to prevent local spread. Medicines access for the Eastern Caribbean: PAHO/WHO and OECS-PPS will hold a 28–29 May workshop in Saint Lucia to improve access to safe, effective medicines and health technologies, including stronger procurement, supply chains, quality assurance, and pooled purchasing. Regional health capacity (WASH): Antigua and Barbuda Red Cross completed regional WASH training in Guadeloupe (May 18–22) to boost emergency preparedness and response, covering hygiene promotion, emergency water production, sanitation, water quality monitoring, and disaster coordination. Transport and health supply risk: A regional commentary warns that shrinking intra-Caribbean air links (including Caribbean Airlines route changes and LIAT disruptions) could undermine movement of people and goods—an issue that can directly affect timely access to care and essential supplies. Code Noir repeal (health equity lens): France’s National Assembly voted unanimously to repeal the “Code Noir” slavery-era edicts, a symbolic step that also pushes for reporting on lasting effects of colonial law on racism and discrimination.
