New PICU, A Dream Realized

The new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the KHMH was officially opened today. The new unit has 2 sections: the PICU, which can hold over 8 children, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which can treat about 23 babies. It is a state of the art facility with rigorous screening protocols for visitors. It's a unit that was desperately needed at the KHMH after a devastating 12 babies died at the old unit in MAY OF 2013. Today health professionals told us how important this new unit is to the healthy and prolonged life of children.

The project costs $7 million. The Unit will officially be opened to patients in early December.
