posted (August 29, 2017)
The Ministry of Health sent out a release today condemning a Facebook post by NBZLive. As seen here, it is a picture of newly-weds, Health Minister Pablo Marin and Director of the Drug Inspectorate Danini Contreras. The post reads "Pablo and Danini have given birth to Allied Tech a company that is monopolizing the importation of pharmaceuticals in the country."

The Ministry of Health today fired back with a heath press release, claiming the post, quote, "makes utterly false, destructive and defamatory accusations..." The release continues by saying, quote, "Allied Tech, the company referred to in the post, is registered as having its principals based in Ladyville, Belize."

The release ends off boasting quote, "Pharmaceuticals are being imported into Belize by approximately 50 importers, and recent legislation ensures an increasingly transparent process in the Ministry's regulation of pharmaceuticals." end quote.

The only Allied Tech we could find in the companies register is ALLIED TECH DISTRIBUTORS LIMITED - which was registered in 2014. The shareholders are Alifah Reyes and Adrian Montero.
