We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Ambergris Caye. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in Ambergris Caye are relatively basic, with a few clinics and pharmacies available for residents and tourists. The island has a hyperbaric chamber for diving-related injuries, which is a crucial service given the popularity of diving in the area. For more serious medical conditions or emergencies, patients are typically transported to larger hospitals in Belize City or even outside the country. The healthcare professionals are generally well-trained and provide good care, but the facilities and equipment may not be as advanced as those in larger, more developed countries. Health insurance is highly recommended for visitors, as medical evacuation can be quite costly. Despite these limitations, the healthcare system in Ambergris Caye is generally able to handle most common health issues and minor emergencies," wrote a member who made the move to Ambergris Caye, Belize.
