AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Salmonella Alert: Costa Rica’s Ministry of Health is investigating a Salmonella outbreak tied to a commercial food outlet in Ciudad Colón de Mora, after 47 people linked to the site reported diarrhea and a dozen tested positive, with one possible death; the outlet was temporarily closed while inspectors check cleaning, disinfection, temperature control, and food handling. Emergency Care Data: A new 2026 ESO Trauma Index connects hospital and prehospital blood product records, showing packed red blood cells dominate transfusions (83%) and highlighting big outcome gaps across mild vs severe traumatic brain injury. Prisons Overhaul: The government says it will adopt El Salvador’s “Zero Leisure” prison work model, aiming to cut costs and expand supervised trades and training. Tourism Push: Expotur 2026 returns May 27–29 in San José as foreign visitor numbers rise, with 140 international buyers confirmed. Health & Safety: A tornado-like “torbellino” in Grecia injured three people; all were stable after Red Cross response.
