Anonymous donor gives half a million dollars for PICU project

By on September 23, 2013

An anonymous donor has gifted half a million dollars for the new pediatric intensive care unit under construction at the KHMH.

The announcement of the “generous donation” was made this morning via a press release by the Special Envoy for Women and Children Mrs. Kim Simplis Barrow.  

The official statement says that the half a million dollars is the first half of a pledge of one million dollars.  The statement from Mrs. Barrow says: “it is comforting to know that people recognize the significance of this project and the great need for a properly equipped and staffed facility for our children.  This donation will be a huge help in our efforts to ensure that Belize gets its first dedicated Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to give newborns and critically ill children the best possible healthcare right here at home.”

The official statement ends by noting that this is the second significant donation to the PICU project which has come through the Lifeline Foundation. 

She has conveyed her “sincerest appreciation to this donor for being a friend of Belize.”
