And with all these accidents - especially the Caye Caulker one involving brain and spinal injuries - the cost has been much higher for the victims because the CT Scan at the KHMH is down. Yes, it's that same high tech 128 slice scan machine - which is the best in the country.
But the hospital today confirmed that it is temporarily out of service. A release says "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.
The supplier has dispatched a specialized technician to Belize today to oversee the work and ensure the restoration of the machine. Arrangements have been made with nearby facilities to ensure the continuity of care for patients requiring CT imaging.
Since April, nearly 1,500 CT scans have been conducted."
There's no word in the release on when it will be back up.
