THREE CEMENT BLOCK HEALTH CENTERS HAVE BEEN INAUGURATED, SERVING 20 REMOTE JUNGLE VILLAGES IN THE TOLEDO DISTRICT
7000 people living in remote jungle farms and villages can now access preventive early medical service in their remote locations. These Health Centers existed before, but they have been renovated by the Ministry of Health and upgraded to serve local people with a doctor, a pharmacy and a nurse/midwife. Before the service was only a one room, nurse service, used mostly to stitch up cuts, or help with baby delivery and care.
The financing to do this was by a FOREIGN LOAN from the Caribbean Development Bank.
