How are healthcare services in Belize City?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Belize City, they replied...

"Healthcare services in Belize City, are a mix of public and private facilities, with the main public hospital being the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. This hospital provides a range of services, including emergency care, surgery, and maternity care. However, the public healthcare system in Belize City is often characterized by limited resources, outdated equipment, and long waiting times. In addition to public hospitals, there are several private clinics and hospitals in Belize City that offer a higher standard of care, with more modern facilities and shorter waiting times. These private facilities often cater to medical tourists and expatriates, and the cost of care can be significantly higher than in public hospitals. Pharmacies are widely available in Belize City, and many medications can be purchased over the counter without a prescription. However, the availability of certain medications may be limited, and it is recommended that visitors bring any necessary medications with them. Dental care is also available in Belize City, with both public and private dental clinics offering a range of services. The quality of dental care can vary, with private clinics generally providing a higher standard of care than public facilities. Overall, healthcare services in Belize City are accessible but may not be up to the standards that visitors from more developed countries are accustomed to. It is recommended that travelers to Belize City have comprehensive travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuation in case of serious illness or injury," wrote a member who made the move to Belize City, Belize.
