UNICEF Belize 25d ago

Belize marked a historic milestone with the launch of its first-ever National Community Health Strategy (2026–2030) elevating Community Health Workers as a critical extension of the health system and the heartbeat of community care. UNICEF is proud to have supported this journey, from helping establish the programme in 1982 to continuing to strengthen it today, so that every child, everywhere, can access quality healthcare. UNICEF Representative Sajid Ali was a speaker at today’s unveiling and highlighted that community health is central to building a resilient, equitable health system for children in Belize. Congratulations to the Ministry of Health & Wellness on this important achievement helping to better protect children and reduce their vulnerabilities. Stronger systems. Stronger communities. Healthier futures.
