AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Obesity Care: A European procedure has backed extending QSIVA, already approved for adults in Iceland, to people aged 12 and over with obesity. Iceland’s medicines agency is expected to issue a national decision within about 30 days; the treatment is intended alongside lifestyle changes. Avian Flu: H5N5 bird flu has been confirmed in wild birds in North, Southwest and Southeast Iceland, the first detections in the country since spring. Authorities say reports of sick and dead birds have risen in recent weeks. Environmental Health: A European river-monitoring study found pharmaceutical and PFAS contamination across the region, including in remote Icelandic rivers. The findings flag pollution, but do not establish risks to people’s health.
