There are 220 active COVID cases in Belize - and tonight an elderly patient is in critical condition at the KHMH COVID unit. She was transferred from the Western Regional Hospital this afternoon in acute respiratory distress. This evening on Ask The Experts, the Director of Health Services spoke about her case:
Dr. Marvin Manzanero - Director of Health Services
"And the patient that was at the western regional hospital from yesterday we had been made aware that she was having progressive respiratory distress, because we have been ask how comes the patient is not being managed in western regional. Well, we don't have a ventilation system. We have a non-invasive ventilator at western regional, but because she was anticipated, that she would have required ventilation support. She has been transferred to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, because she is critically ill in respiratory distress. So we do have one patient now admitted at the ICU at the Karl Huesner Memorial Hospital. This is an elderly patient."
