AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Access Crunch in Puerto Rico Maternity Care: A new Gender Investigative Unit review found only 63 of 220 contacted OB-GYN offices actually treat pregnancies through delivery, with 145 (66%) saying they no longer do so; seven out of 10 municipalities lacked a reachable delivery-capable OB-GYN office, and among those accepting new patients, about 47 take Plan Vital. Local Health Workforce Pressure: The findings land as Puerto Rico’s health system faces ongoing strain, including reports of pregnant women traveling hours for care as obstetric services become scarcer. Biotech Manufacturing Boost: Amgen announced an additional $300M investment to expand biologics manufacturing at its Juncos, Puerto Rico facility, aiming to increase capacity and create hundreds of construction jobs. Campus Operations Update: UPR Mayagüez began a gradual return to in-person operations after reopening access points, with safety and continuity of services driving the phased plan.
