Belize Medical Associates

Receipts and bills are a bit like in Africa. I had awful difficulty with my health insurance to accept them. A complete rip off too. Even if you are dying, wise to stay away.

My husband and I were traveling with adult family members from the Washington DC area to Placencia, Belize which involved a very early departure, connecting flights and a 30 minute flight on a small, 14-seat plane to our final destination (a very long day). After our first flight my husband noticed a constant tightness in his chest which worsened throughout the day—something he had not experienced before. Upon arriving to our resort he thought resting might improve his condition but it only made it worse. The resort shuttled us to a local clinic who then sent us to Belize Medical Associates (BMA) in Belize City via ambulance for advanced cardiac care which the clinic could not provide. My husband is a 7+ year lung cancer survivor with various chemo and radiation complications. Dr. Vashti Gray (General Practitioner at BMA) was our ER attending physician and Dr. Chen Chih (Jeff) Lin was his cardiologist. Dr. Gray was extremely thorough in her initial assessment and transition to Dr. Lin’s care. Everyone at the facility was so professional, knowledgeable, timely and overall accommodating—especially considering our arrival into the late evening. My husband was admitted for observation overnight and released the next day with medications for his diagnosed cardiac condition. I highly recommend BMA if you need advanced medical care when traveling in Belize!

Do not come here! My grandmother had a stroke the ambulance came as soon as we got in they said they will need me to pay them. Get to the hospital they say before they can help I need to pay. I pay them the exact amount and the lady tries to steal 50$ and ask me if I’m sure I gave her the right amount. I made her recount it and it was correct. Not to mention I had to help load her into the ambulance and help dress her at the hospital with the nurses! Absurd why pay so much to help the hospital staff
