Here's an idea... Since it's relatively easy to get a self employment license, why don't you get one to set up a clinic and hire doctors already on the island or in the country to perform the medical services? Or instead rent the clinic beds and offices out to those patients and doctors who need them but don't have them.

May not be your first choice, but would provide you income while providing the services required without a need for a medical license.

Protectionism helps only those in the highest places of power. Protectionism helps noone it is intended to help. Government intervention in any free market activity always has unintended consequences.

I recommend picking up a copy of "The Revolution: A Manifesto", by Ron Paul. It's a great read.

He might want to talk to those who finally got a clinic on the island and how long and how hard it was to accomplish that.

Damn, Dead finally said something I agree with

Belize-N-US, I don't mean to sound condecending, but after 39 years of "experiencing" Belize, you do not want to come here and expect to tell Belize how things should be done.

I'm nothing if not agreeable...

It is understanable that he is frustrated over having the training and experience to fulfill a stated need, but not the legal right to excercise that training and experience to fulfill that need.

That will be just the start of frustration. Don't Stop The Carnival . A better read for moving to Belize than Ron's book.

You may want to talk to Dr. Gonzales, he is the OB on the island and I do believe he has a birthing room, if not 2.

Most countries, including the US, have quotas that determine how many people with what basic job skills will be permitted work permits every year. Why do Americans think that they should recieve special treatment when your own country uses the same basic rules to govern their own immigation policy. Belize is a sovereign nation and has a right to dictate their own rules. If you don't like it....stay home!
