I've got a friend who wants to go to San Pedro for a month or so. He requires twice a week kidney dialysis. Is there a clinic on the Island, or Belize City?
I know this was an issue a few years ago with one of our guests, but don't remember the outcome.
Thanks for any help.

Clinic in Belize City for sure.

The only kidney dialysis service in Belize is at Universal Health Services in Belize City. 223 7870

craigswench, tell him to talk to his dialysis center about the possiblity of traveling with a nextstage or other portable machine. He would have to be trained on the machine way ahead of time but it might be the only way he can go. Oh, BTW the airline is NOT allowed to charge extra baggage for it either! Good luck to him.
