I get so upset when the people who are promoting " good deeds" get so nasty so fast. It is a fair question to ask if the volunteers take away from our local practitioners. Sounds like in dentistry, they are an addition. Belize needs to begin to make choices about what services we need volunteers to provide and not develop policies because a particular group wishes to be here.
I am sure that everyone in this group is well meaning, totally board cerified and carries liability if anything goes wrong. But I have seen other situations where that is not true and local care providers are left cleaning up.
So who supervises, who certifies, and who makes sure that cultural differences are respected! Fair question so hold the fire
