What are medical services in Punta Gorda like?

"Medical services in Punta Gorda are relatively basic due to its remote location. The town has a public hospital, Punta Gorda Hospital, which provides primary care services including general medicine, maternity care, and minor surgeries. However, for more specialized treatments or serious medical conditions, patients often have to travel to larger cities or even out of the country. There are also a few private clinics and pharmacies in the town. The medical staff is generally well-trained but resources and equipment can be limited. It's also important to note that while some health care providers may speak English, many primarily speak Spanish or Creole," remarked another expat who made the move to Punta Gorda, Belize.
