150-BED HOSPITAL FOR BELMOPAN

Continued from page 1 the capital of the entire country and, so, that this will be a referral hospital is right on planBelize’s script.

This is no fluke. San Pedro is already seeing the dream of a hospital on Ambergris Island becoming a reality. Belmopan already had a new polyclinic. So did Caye Caulker and the story is similar all over the country. Health is priority. Wait…isn’t it

Housing? Or Education? Or the Economy? Or Crime mitigation? Or the Constitution? All of Belize is a priority in planBelize and John Briceño’s administration.

No government has worked harder than this planBelize government and the people of Belize deserve a tertiary care facility to add to the National Health Insurance that is bound to get a bolster from the rechannelled Boledo money. This is the hope and af- ter the exclusive license was revoked for lack of due diligence the sky seems to be the limit for how much Belize can take care of its people and their good health.

As per the Cabinet release: “approval for a $90 million loan through the Saudi Fund for Development on highly concessionary terms for the construction of a 150-bedroom tertiary care/university hospital in Belmopan.”
