KHMH’s CT Scan Back in Operation

The Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital Authority (KHMHA) announced this morning that its CT scan machine is fully operational once again, following repairs completed last night. The management extended gratitude to their service provider for the swift response and thanked the public for their patience during the downtime.

Earlier this year, the Ministry of Health and Wellness celebrated the installation of the country’s first public CT scanner at KHMH. However, after just eight months of operation, the machine experienced a hardware issue caused by condensation, which disrupted communication between components.

A specialised technician was brought in to address the problem, replace a faulty part, and conduct routine maintenance to prevent future disruptions. Arrangements were made with nearby facilities to ensure continued access to CT scans for patients while the machine was being repaired.

The breakdown over the weekend caused significant inconvenience for patients, including teenagers injured in a road accident near Carmelita Village. With the machine back online, the KHMHA assures the public that the CT scanner will continue to provide reliable and efficient diagnostic services for Belizeans.
