Belize Launches New Health Sector Strategic Plan for 2025-2034

Belize’s healthcare system is set to undergo a thorough overhaul. Today, the government of Belize, through the Ministry of Health and Wellness (MOHW), has launched the Belize Health Sector Strategic Plan (BHSSP) 2025-2034.

In a statement, the ministry said that the plan “outlines a clear vision for addressing key health system challenges, including the rise of non-communicable diseases, climate change impacts on public health, gaps in human resources, and the need for stronger governance and digital transformation within the health sector.”

The plan is to strengthen the nation’s healthcare system and promote “Universal Health for all Belizeans” through three key objectives:

• Strengthening leadership within the ministry to improve accountability and governance.
• Building a people-centred health system with improved services, financing, and workforce.
• Promoting healthier lifestyles through targeted initiatives and community engagement.

Some of the contributing partners include PAHO/WHO, the European Union, and civil society in the plan’s development.
