Health & Community Risk: Guinea-Bissau’s security move to occupy PAIGC headquarters near key public institutions raises concerns for public safety and access around hospitals and other sensitive sites, especially during politically tense periods. Health-Adjacent Regional Spotlight: ECOWAS also opened recruitment across sectors including health, offering opportunities that could strengthen regional health systems.
