The Sight of San Pedro’s First Public Hospital

And while the main course may have been rice and beans - the real pièce de résistance was the unveiling of the new hospital for San Pedro. It's a 33 million dollar grant from Taiwan and the president underscored the project as a symbol of enduring friendship:

Dr. Tsai Ing-Wen, President of the Republic of China (Taiwan)

"Now I am delighted to be here to personally witness our ideas becoming a reality. The San Pedro general hospital is one example of this reality for which we signed the MOU in January this year. We hope that this facility fulfils the need for accessible comprehensive medical services both for residents and for visitors in Belize most popular tourist destination."
