By Jennifer Collins


Health care focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. It is the maintenance of health, prevention of diseases and abnormalities in individuals. It is the duty of every health professional to make sure that their patients are given adequate treatment or care in order to avoid ill-health and disorders. These professionals include Physicians, Dentists, Pharmacists, Psychiatrists, and Nurses. There are many instruments used in Belize medical care. They have been specially designed to make the diagnosis of these ailments possible.

For instance, the Medical Imaging machine is very effective in the diagnosis of various vital internal organs in the patient's body. It is responsible for visualizing the body system to examine malfunctioning in the cells, tissues, and organs respectively. Through this process, disorders can be revealed and the facilitation of treatment is made possible. It makes use of ultrasounds and endoscopy when administering the treatment.

Cardiologists, biomedical engineers, and other medical practitioners make use of this specially designed equipment to improve the functioning of the body system and promote the physical and overall well-being of the people in the society. The Position Emission Tomography (PET), the Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are typical examples of the imaging device. Many of the doctors in Belize are capable of using these appliances.

Another essential device used is the Basic Life Support. Issues that demand urgent attention and emergencies make use of this machinery in order to protect lives as fast as possible. For example, people with severe and fatal accidental injuries in the brain require the use of this safety device, otherwise, death may occur. People who suffer from stroke, severe physical injuries, birth complexities and adults who suffer from heart attack must make use of the device when admitted to the hospital.

These may include the Heart-Lung machines, the dialysis machine, and the anesthetic devices. The Hearth-Lung machine ensures the free circulation of oxygen and blood to the entire parts of the human body. The Dialysis machine is essential for the proper maintenance of the health of the people who suffer from kidney ailments such as injuries, diseases, and other irregularities. The Anesthetic device allows gases such as oxygen and nitrous oxide and the vapor isoflurane to be supplied to the patients. The anesthesiologist does this treatment by promoting the administration of anesthesia into their body. Examples of the equipment used by them include the Continuous flow anesthetic machine.

Other treatment facilities include Infusion Pumps, LASIK machines, and the lasers. The infusion pumps are needed in order to transport nutrients and liquid substances in the body's circulatory system. They include the large volume pumps which inject large amounts of nutrients the small-volume pumps, responsible for the infusion of hormones and drugs.

The LASIK reduces the occurrences of disorders in the eye. This laser vision correction treats ailments such as hyperopia, short-sightedness, and astigmatism. It enables visual acuity through a process known as optical amplification.

The lasers are medical instruments that emit light through the process known as optical amplification. They are useful in the treatment of skin diseases, surgeries, kidney stone removal and other treatments.
