Belizeans in Michigan donate to K.H.M.H.

The Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital is today the recipient of a handsome donation of medical equipment and supplies valued at close to a million dollars. The contribution, which came courtesy of Belizeans living in Michigan, was forwarded through the Friends of Karl Heusner organisation. Minister of Health Jose Coye accepted the donation as a kind gesture from the Belizean community in the United States.

“Here is a group of people, the Friends of Karl Heusner, who through their efforts, have brought to this hospital almost a million dollars, and it’s not a once and for all, it’s been an ongoing thing. The more we can tap into this, I’m setting up a special unit within the Ministry, to see how they can aggressively pursue these kinds of offers throughout the world. I think it will go a far way in helping this hospital and I must congratulate the group tremendously.”

“The equipment and supplies will all remain here at the K.H.M.H., or will it be distributed country-wide?”

Jose Coye

“This is especially for the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. We’ll be getting others for the hospital throughout and we’re going to strengthen that unit within the Ministry.

The Friends of Karl Heusner, chaired by Dee Ann Musa, has raised over twelve thousand dollars to support K.H.M.H.
