What are healthcare services like in Belize City?

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Belize City. They wrote...

"Belize City offers a variety of healthcare services, including both public and private hospitals and clinics. The public hospitals provide basic medical care, while the private hospitals offer more specialized services. There are also a number of pharmacies in the city, providing access to medications. Additionally, there are a number of health centers and clinics that provide primary care services, such as vaccinations and check-ups. Mental health services are also available in Belize City, with a number of counseling centers and psychiatrists available," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Belize City, Belize.

"Yes..Belize city has the three best hospitals in the country. For simple things they are very good and cheap compared with the US,, but for cancer that sort of thing people go to the states. You can get private medical insurance as a member of the caricom , which in our case includes treatment elsewhere, if it is not available here in Belize. People who don't have medical insurance, use Guatemala city, Merida Mexico, or panama for medical procedures. For members of the public, using public health centers and hospitals the waits can be very long and the care, patchy. I would not suggest people come here with terminal illnesses, as belizes not equipped to deal with that," commented one expat who made the move to Belize City, Belize.
