Polyclinic receives 800K donation

Through the hard work and efforts made by the Belize Mission Project, an $800,000Bze donation was secured for the San Pedro PolyClinic through Project CURE. Since the beginning of the Poly Clinic II project, the organization Project CURE had set its sights on the clinic and had promised to supply the facility with equipment and medical supplies. In March of 2006, the San Pedro PolyClinic received a substantial donation of $1.2 Million dollars and it proved to be 90% of the equipment needed to outfit the clinic. This time around, Project CURE donated items that highly reflected what the clinic was in desperate needs of. Some items included: fetal Doppler, centrifuge, syringes, anesthetics, birthing kits, stethoscopes, microscopes, gurneys, scrubs; equipment for the dental clinic as well and a huge gamut of medicines and other supplies. Based on quantity, some of the items donated will be distributed to other needy clinics countrywide, stated Dr. Paul Edwards of the Health Department, Central Region which includes in its jurisdiction Ambergris Caye.

The container was filled to capacity.

Team work!

The donation couldn't have come at a better time.

After unloading, the crew gathered up for a group shot!
Along with the great donation came a very valuable piece of equipment – an x-ray machine.
