Public Health Accountability: French lawmakers voted unanimously to have the state acknowledge partial responsibility for long-term harm from chlordecone (Kepone) in Guadeloupe and Martinique, despite health warnings—linked to cancers and wider health effects, with research cited by ANSES saying almost 90% of people in the islands were contaminated. Regional Environment & Health: A nine-state OECS delegation is visiting Martinique and Guadeloupe (June 1–4) to study sargassum management, including monitoring, collection, risk reduction, and turning seaweed into value-added products, with EU support. Mosquito-Borne Disease Watch: France reported 92 imported mosquito-borne cases in May (dengue, chikungunya, Zika), all tied to travel abroad, as the tiger mosquito remains active and established across many departments—highlighting the risk of local spread. Medicines Access: PAHO/WHO and OECS-PPS will hold a Saint Lucia workshop (May 28–29) to improve access to safe, effective medicines across Eastern Caribbean states, focusing on procurement, supply chains, forecasting, and pooled purchasing. Healthcare Policy Context: France also moved toward formally repealing the Code Noir slavery-era legal edicts, a symbolic step tied to how colonial legacies are addressed in law and education.
