And after 27 years, the KHMH's structure has seen better days. There are cracks on the walls, and everyone remembers the famous raccoon falling from the ceiling, along with other structural deficiencies. Today the PM said it's something they have to look into.
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"We know that the building itself, we have problems with it, the last time it was cracking and they tried to fix it so we have to see how we can fix that, we're looking at what are the long plans for Karl Heusner, do we have to build another hospital in another part of the city. As it is, we're looking at how we can build another tertiary institution in Belmopan. What is happening is that Karl Heusner is bursting at its seams because everybody comes here, so we have to share the work and not depend solely on only one institution, God forbid a hurricane hits Belize City and this is the only real tertiary institution that we have, as a country then we're going to be in trouble. So, we have to think long term and we have to see how we can continue to build on what we have, to serve our people best."
