Former Belize Prime Minister Rt. Hon, George Price who led Belize into independence in 1981 has been hospitalized after suffering a fall at his Belize City home over the weekend.

Mr. Price who recently celebrated his 91st birthday was admitted to the Belize Health Care Partners for observation and is expected to be discharged by midweek. Known as the Father of The Nation, Mr. Price can frequently be seen taking his walk between his home and the Holy Redeemer Cathedral for early morning mass - a practice he has kept for decades. Lately, Price has been spending time working on his biography to be published in the months to come.

Father of the Nation hospitalized after falling from hammock

He celebrated his ninety-first birthday only last Friday, and this year there was no public appearance to mark the occasion, mostly because, as he put it, the recession does not lend to a party. Despite his age, George Price, the Father of the nation, can frequently be seen taking his walk between his home and the Holy Redeemer Cathedral. Lately, Price has been spending time working on his biography to be published in the months to come. But last Saturday afternoon, the senior statesman reportedly suffered a setback when he fell from a hammock at his Pickstock home. Price hit his knee and was immediately transported to the Belize Healthcare Partners where he is undergoing a battery of tests. According to family members, the outcome of the tests will be known in the next few days. It is expected that he will be released from the hospital later this week.

I hope that the Father of the nation could really get well soon after he gets into the hospital. Maybe he might really need some rest and medical observation after the thing that happened to him. At could be a nice thing that we could put him in our prayer. SEO Services

Wishing Mr. Price a speedy recovery.
