Belmopan, October 31, 2026.
The Government of Belize and Cuba will not renew the agreement under which members of the Cuban Medical Brigade have served in Belize since 1990.
To ensure the continued delivery of medical services, the Government of Belize, through the Ministry of Health and Wellness, will sign individual contracts of employment with each Cuban professional that will allow them to remain and work in Belize.
The Government of Belize assures the Belizean public of its unwavering commitment to the delivery of professional medical services by Belizean and foreign medical professionals for the health and wellness of all Belizeans.
