KHMH’s CT Scan Temporarily Down

News Five has confirmed that the CT scan machine at the nation’s referral hospital is temporarily down. According to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital Authority (KHMHA), “A condensation issue caused the communication between the hardware components to go down, requiring the replacement of a small part. The root cause has also been addressed.”

According to the KHMHA, a specialised technician was dispatched to Belize today by the supplier to oversee repairs and ensure the restoration of the CT scanner. “Arrangements have been made with nearby facilities to ensure the continuity of care for our patients requiring CT imaging.”

The replacement of the faulty part, along with routine maintenance, is expected to enhance the scanner’s reliability and efficiency for the benefit of all Belizeans.
