I don't believe NHI covers surgery. Its primarily for office visits and medication.

Good Day my friends........Thank you soooo much for your concerns and suggestions and replies. Yes, social security will take care of me during my absence from work only. Together with my employer,we do contribute to SS. Neither NHI or SS will cover the cost of the surgery. My insurance will help cover some of the expense; however, there is still much needed funds to cover. For example, prior to surgery, I have to take people to the hospital to donate blood. Water taxi and land taxi will cost $150.00 for that alone. For clarification, I only have four children plus my wife and I, makes our family of 6.

I know Adrian, he's a kind soul and a good guy. I will help in any way I can. I am not in Belize right now, but will return in early November and will help with fundraising.

I am curious now! Is The National Health Insurance plan in effect now? As I still dont know anyone who has received their insurance card yet, and the medical providers I have talked to say they do not yet accept it, that it is not yet in effect. They were out here signing people up a month or so ago, said they would be back to issue cards, when I called ministry of Health I was told they were only now just signing people up is all???????

Not in effect as of any time soon, lots of promises but no real money allocated to fund it. Cards were issued just before the last election but were worthless after.

Thanks for clearing that up because some folks were saying how the plan did not cover surgery, and did cover other things, but if its not in effect it covers nothing at all!!!
