Belmopan, Belize 12 August (Belizean.com) Retired U.S.A. Judge and current Belize resident Dr. Kenneth Gale has criticised the current state of affairs over an apparently negligent pattern of behaviour by Belize's Ministry of Health. The current minister of health is Pablo Marin assisted by his C.E.O. expat British dentist Peter Allen.
Judge Gale's letter to all media this week was sparked by a a slew of deaths at Belize's hospitals apparently caused by outright negligence:
resulting from his chocking on a bean has exposed gross deficiencies in
Belize's medical care. The failure of two medical institutions to
timely treat baby Jayden in a manner so as to save his life is both
shocking and alarming.
Adding the request for $15,000 to be paid up
front before treating his life-threatening emergency indicates an
insidious situation. A situation that can place the health care and
lives of all Belizeans in jeopardy. Neither medical facility attempted
the Heimlich procedure.
