Last month, Leader of the Belize People’s Front (BPF), Nefretery Nancy Marin, spoke of her plans of establishing Stop the Bleed training sessions in Belize, which is an initiative to train civilians and first responders to assist following accidents. The sessions – which are free and is a collaboration with the University of Missouri – begin this week in San Ignacio. Marin said she is also partnering with the Ministry of Home Affairs, where certain officers will also receive the training. Marin said she would like to eventually take the initiative into schools.

Following a recent emergency call, emergency medical personnel from Island Emergency Services (IES) took a patient to the Dr. Otto Rodriguez Polyclinic II in San Pedro for an X-ray. However, no X-ray Technician was available. The family then opted to transport the patient to Belize City. According to Abner Bacab, an Emergency Medical Technician and owner of IES, it adds to the frustration and the cost when the average San Pedrano tries to access medical services.

Bacab explained that tourists would normally access the services at the private hospital located on the northside of Ambergris Caye, but said the cost is usually too high for most residents, especially when a patient needs to be rushed to Belize City for treatment.

The groundbreaking of the Taiwan-funded San Pedro and Caye Caulker General Hospital took place in San Pedro in 2024, with the completion of the 45-bed facility expected around April 2027. However, some residents voiced concerns that the construction works have seemingly been sporadic, and they are concerned that the facility may not be completed on time. Abner Bacab, an EMT in the island, explained why residents had hoped that construction would be continuous.

In July, a site inspection was done by government officials, who assured that construction was on schedule, and the April 2027 completion date is still on track.
