Kevin Bernard, Minister of Health and Wellness
"I want to, personally, as we put out on our statement on the ministry's social media page, extend our deepest condolences on behalf of myself as the Minister of Health and Wellness, the ministry, but the wider government and the wider general public who have gotten in contact with Dr. Cuellar, one way or the other, whether it was a personal discussion I had with Dr. Cuellar when I became the minister in a private discussion and his adamant position on wanting to see betterment for our country in the public sector, and he was right in many ways."

"He was a very vocal individual, but very right in his position. A lot of people may not have agreed with so many things he said, but at the end of the day he wanted betterment for this country. He wanted to see our healthcare system improve. He wanted to see life to improve, and it's so sad that he had to encounter such issue and has lost his life, sadly. And so it's going to be a great loss for the medical fraternity in this country, and I know that his colleagues across Belize, and not only in Belize, but those who have come in contact with across the globe, are very much felt the impact of his loss."
