What are healthcare services like in 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," said another expat in Belize City, Belize.

"Healthcare services in Belize are generally accessible and affordable. There is a wide range of public and private hospitals, health centers and clinics offering services such as primary care, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, dentistry and ophthalmology. The government operates health centers and clinics across the country, as well as two regional hospitals. Private healthcare centers also offer a range of medical services for those with the financial resources. Vaccines are available for many infectious diseases and there is a national health insurance scheme for near universal access to health care services. The quality of the healthcare services is improving but is still limited in some regions," wrote a member who made the move to Belize.
