By Zoila Palma: Minister of Foreign Affairs Francis Fonseca says that the new arrangement for Belize to retain Cuban medical professionals is a win-win for Belize.
“Our team here at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we worked closely with the Ministry of Health and Wellness, our embassy in Washington, D.C.-we all worked together on this for many months. And I am very pleased that at the end of the day, we were able to come up with a sensible, practical resolution to the matter.The agreement between Belize and Cuba for the medical brigade had ended last year, so we are not renewing that agreement for the medical brigade, but we have an agreement with the medical professionals, the doctors,” Minister Fonseca said.
Minister Fonseca noted that there are now 22 Cuban medical professionals in Belize and that individual contracts are being signed.
“So that is a win-win for Belize: we get to keep the medical professionals, we get to maintain their presence in our rural communities where many of them serve, so we continue to be able to provide good-quality healthcare to the Belizean people,” he added.
