AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoHealthcare Costs in France: France is backing down on a plan that would have raised patients’ “medical franchises” (charges) for medicines, paramedical care, transport and consultations; the Health Minister says the cap will be reformed with inflation indexing since 2005, so any increase will be much lower than the initially proposed near-doubling, after patient and clinician groups warned it would hit vulnerable people hardest. French Polynesia Chronic Disease: Obesity is climbing fast in French Polynesia, with new local figures (2019–2025) showing adult obesity up to about 51% (from 40% in 2010), plus higher rates of high blood pressure, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, and authorities linking the trend to sedentary habits and unbalanced diets. Deep-Sea Health & Governance: Te Ipukarea Society (TIS) has taken Cook Islands concerns about deep-seabed mining to the International Seabed Authority, opposing a US company’s push for an exploration licence for an area surrounded by Cook Islands, Kiribati and French Polynesia.
