By Zoila Palma: The Ministry of Health and Wellness continues its commitment to improving the quality and accessibility of primary health care services across Belize.
As part of these ongoing efforts, a Belize delegation recently participated in the 2nd International Conference on Primary Health Care, held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the theme “Advancing Primary Health Care in the 21st Century: Putting People First.”
The conference brought together health leaders and professionals from across Africa and the world to discuss the evolving role of primary care, particularly the importance of community health workers as vital links between communities and national health systems.
Belize was represented by a team that included one of the country’s community health workers, who engaged in discussions on improving access to care in low- and middle-income countries.
In collaboration with UNICEF Belize, the delegation also shared the nation’s experiences in building a more resilient primary health care system in the face of climate change.
Their presentation highlighted Belize’s efforts to strengthen health policies, enhance disaster preparedness, develop climate-resilient infrastructure, empower community health workers, and increase domestic funding to ensure a sustainable and responsive health system for all Belizeans.
