AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Prison Health & Safety: Foreign Prisoners Network Mauritius is urging urgent, independent scrutiny after the death of 43-year-old Avinash Ramgotee at Melrose Prison, pointing to alleged drug trafficking, corruption, staff shortages, and medical-procedure failures flagged by a June board of inquiry, and calling for full autopsy disclosure, CCTV preservation, and investigation into medication, movements, contacts, and drug-related debts. Trial Rights in Mauritius: The same network says British national Ashley Tierney’s Port Louis court case (7–18 Sept) must be closely monitored, alleging nearly seven years in pre-trial detention with beatings, intimidation, isolation, deprivation, and degrading treatment, and requesting fair-trial monitoring and independent investigation. Medication Oversight: Separately, the network has requested an independent review of whether prescribed medication is consistently administered and accurately recorded in Mauritius prisons, after detainees raised concerns about delays, non-administration, and inconsistent treatment. Medical Tourism Push: Lilavati Hospital plans to open its first overseas centre in Kazakhstan in September, starting with a super-speciality OPD for second opinions and treatment planning in areas including oncology, cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, orthopaedics, urology, and IVF—positioned as a gateway for Central Asia patients. Diabetes Burden: A global roundup highlights diabetes rates among the highest worldwide, underscoring the growing public health pressure that Mauritius clinicians and policymakers will be watching closely.
