It really is unacceptable, considering how current communication and corresponding information and education have improved man's lot, that people continue to suffer needlessly in numbers that have changed little per capita over many years on Ambergris Caye. Sure, urgent medical attention is only one serious problem.

Also, we don't pretend to understand politics, let alone Belizean politics, but it is at least astounding to learn here that persons who consistantly demonstrate incoherence have political aspirations!

What we wish to understand, is why emergencies on the island must be evacuated to Belize City. Are there yet more political obstacles when evacuating to Mexico? Wouldn't it be better to evac to Chetumal General than to KHMH? Ugh!
