Emergencies in The Southern Coast

Although Placencia has a small medical clinic with a physician and nurse, plus an acupuncturist, a part-time chiropractor, and a natural healer, and Seine Bight, Hopkins, and Independence have medical clinics, for serious medical attention you should go to Dangriga or Belize City. The Belize Emergency Response Team, based in Belize City, provides air transportation all over the country in emergency cases. A pharmacy with very limited supplies is at Wallen's store in Placencia.
