…but deal to sell hospital still not done

And while the latest word out of Belmopan is that the buyout of Universal Health Services is “seventy-five percent” complete, this morning Lecky revealed that the hospital’s employees are also hoping the deal will bring stability to the workplace.

“How is the staff feeling about that? You all are…?”

“We are a bit, sometimes nervous, sometimes happy. We’d like to see if all over, not over, over in the point that we know that we can move on and continue to give the excellent service we have given the community.”

The interested buyer is a group of doctors from the Loma Luz Hospital in San Ignacio and their foreign investment partners. Prime Minister Said Musa has gone on record to maintain that the terms of the takeover should be finalised by the end of the year.
