MOHW Minister Supports CEO’s Reappointment

As you heard, Minister Bernard is backing Doctor Julio Sabido’s reappointment as the Chief Executive Officer in the Ministry of Health and Wellness. Back in 2022, critics weren’t too thrilled about Sabido’s appointment because he was seen as a junior member of the team and hadn’t led any regional teams yet. So, he’s back now, but did that come after some tough talks between him and the minister?

“Doctor Sabido and I have had great discussions. I know when I just became the minister, I did not know Doctor Sabido. We got to know each other. We worked very closely together so it was not a difficult task to say I fully support Doctor Sabido. And, as I said to him, we are here to work and ensure that the Belizean people get a better health system and a ministry that would work for each other. At the end of the day we serve the Belizean people we want to ensure that we are here to do our job and ensure the Belizean people benefit from the decisions we make as a government and ministry so that we can always look back down the road and say we place in a better position than we found it.”
