By Zoila Palma: The People’s National Party (PNP) is calling on the Government of Belize to take immediate steps to retain Cuban medical professionals currently serving in country, following a strategic consultation held on Friday, September 11, 2026.
PNP Leader Wil Maheia met with former Ambassador Dylan Vernon and former Ambassador and Minister of Foreign Affairs Assad Shoman to discuss the situation involving the Cuban doctors.
According to the PNP, both former diplomats expressed strong support for the party’s position and stressed the need for a united national stance to ensure the medical professionals remain in Belize.
“The work being done by the Cuban medical brigade is essential to the health and well-being of our citizens,” Maheia said.
The PNP further argued that the issue should be viewed from a public health perspective rather than through political considerations. “This is not a political issue; it is a matter of public health, human dignity, and national solidarity,” Maheia stated.
The party is now urging Belizeans nationwide to support its call and demand that the Government take immediate action to maintain the presence of Cuban doctors in Belize.
