Hopkins’ Oldest Resident Still Leads by Example, One Catch at a Time

In the coastal village of Hopkins, you won’t find history tucked away in dusty archives, you see it come alive on the sea and along the sandy streets. Tonight, on The Bright Side, Sabreena Daly takes us out to meet a man who’s been casting his nets since he was just fourteen years old, and he’s never looked back. At ninety-five, he is the oldest resident in this Garifuna community, a man whose daily routine of hard work and neighborhood love is a masterclass in healthy living. We go to Hopkins to meet the man everyone calls 'Bobo.'

Government Pushes NHI Reform Amid Oversight Fears

The government is pushing forward with new National Health Insurance legislation that would replace the current commission with a more powerful NHI Authority, one designed to take the lead on delivering services. But that shift is raising concerns. Opposition Leader Tracy Panton is questioning whether the proposed structure truly serves Belizeans or concentrates too much control in the hands of a few. Prime Minister John Briceño and Health Minister Kevin Bernard are defending the plan, but as the bill moves forward, the real fight may be over trust, oversight, and who gets to call the shots in Belize’s healthcare future.

NHI covers citizens nationwide, across all six districts.
