I would be a lot more interested in seeing a full blown ob/gyn clinic with full services on this island than seeing jets flying in directly from Cancun.

I am still distressed and dismayed that Dr. Tina hasn't been able to secure a license to practice medicine in Belize after 9 years of applying and jumping through hoops. We do indeed desperately need an operating theatre for child birth emergencies. As always the main reason we don't have these facilities is because of the lack of money to set the clinics up and to run them.

I remember years ago when the Harrier fighter jets would "buzz" the island and I can remember one sitting on the San Pedro airstrip too.

Anyway, I think people are getting too heated and begining to make personal attacks again. Can we try and cool off a little please.

Thanks A

Amen, Amanda - Without Dr. Tina here there is no doctor here to deal with severe emergencies! And lately there have been NO doctors on the island on the weekends - great for tourism!

BNU not sure what being a physician wanting to move to Belize and AC has to do with whether SP should have international arrivals. Does it mean you can come and go more frequently? What is the benefit to Belize? It would seem better for the country if the tourist dollar were spent in more places that AC. There are many incredible places on the mainland. Personally, AC is still to busy for me, I just bought land on the north island of CC. As my brother-in-law put it that gives us 3 layers from the jet setters, first they move into SP, then CC and then maybe the north island. If you are really interested in the development of the country of Belize you'd want to see other areas of the country developed. The environment can only handle so much development. Water, sanitation, traffic, trash collection are just some of the pressures that SP is facing and to encourage more growth just puts more strain on an already stretched local government. By the way are you lisenced to practise in Belize. If so bring your clinic to SP I'm sure you'd have enough business you'd never need the airport.

Reserected from the past!!!!!!!!!!!!
