Surgery and Operating Room Coming to Cayo  

The roles public healthcare plays in tourism are not being overlooked by the Belize Tourism Board, nor the ministry of Tourism. That is the message shared by the members of the tourism sector as they bolster their efforts to enhance the quality of service provide to Belizean citizens and visitors. Today, at the inauguration of the Placencia Polyclinic, which was built through the efforts of the B.T.B. and the Ministry of Health and Wellness, we asked Minister of Tourism Anthony Mahler what other areas the ministry is planning to work on next. Here’s his response.

“Are there any other areas that the BTB is looking to specifically target in regards to health care?”

 

Anthony Mahler, Minster of Tourism

“Actually, we’ve been having discussions with the area reps from Cayo district to see if we can partner in building surgery facility and operating room because they don’t have one in the western regional hospital or whatever it is called.  But we’re looking at that and other projects.”
