OVERVIEW
Discussions on health sector reform in Belize began in 1994 as an ongoing dialogue between the Government of Belize and the International Development Bank regarding the need to improve the health status of the population. In 1996, the IDB approved a non-reimbursable technical cooperation financing for the preparation of studies for health sector reform. To this end, a firm (Cambridge Consulting Corporation and Resources Management Corporation) was contracted to conduct evaluation and analysis of the status of the health sector in Belize.  The primary goal was to identify and support the adoption of government policies and programs, which would promote improvements in the adequacy and allocation of health resources within the health sector so that quality health care would be made available in an efficient and effective way to all Belizeans.
