The Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital Authority advises the general public that as of today Monday 23rd March 2020 we are in Emergency Mode with adjustments to our Visitor’s Policy as part of our response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Emergency mode means we have postponed elective services and an abbreviated clinic schedule will be announced.
Visitors with respiratory symptoms will not be allowed to visit patients. All persons entering the hospital will be scanned and triaged at nurse’s stations located at the KHMH lobby and Accident and Emergency.
Visitors to the A&E Department will be allowed only for minors, patients who require continuous assistance and patients who are in a critical state. The Nurse– in– charge of A&E will issue a pass for one visitor. This pass will not be interchangeable among family members.
