In addition to a good local EMS system and a central place to use as a base for emergent care it would seem to me that locating a helicopter and crew at the main hospital in Belize would be a good option. Presumably they would serve the whole country as we must not be the only place isolated and in need of emergency medical transport.

I admit my lack of local knowledge on all this but I assume there is a procedure in place to take people their from all over the country and hopefully a procedure to get them to tertiary hospitals outside of Belize if necessary (Mexico, US, etc).

And of course if a fixed wing transport was ready to go I would use that. My point was having the ability to pay and not having to depend on the government or some other entity to guarantee the cost. I assume you can't just call up Tropic and say I have a sick person that needs to get to the mainland without them asking you to pay?
