By Breaking Belize News Staff: The Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital Authority (KHMHA) is appealing to a Facebook media blog to remove video footage of a patient that was reportedly shared on social and public media platforms on Friday, June 27, 2026.
In a statement, KHMHA expressed concern over the sharing of the footage, stressing that every patient is entitled to privacy, dignity, and compassion while receiving care.
“Behind every bed in our wards is a person, someone’s mother, father, child, or friend, going through one of the most vulnerable moments of their life,” the hospital said.

The hospital said the issue is not only a matter of policy, but also one of basic human respect.
KHMHA further stated that it remains committed to providing a safe, dignified, and compassionate environment for every patient in its care, while thanking the public and media partners for helping to uphold that standard.
