A scandal arose surrounding KHMH in 2009 when questionable procurement practises regarding pharmaceuticals and other medical supplies came to light, and the government set up a commission of inquiry to investigate. Chairman Ricardo Fabro resigned in the aftermath. In May 2011, Corozal Town businessman Gulab Sharma was named the new chairman. In June 2011, construction work began on its children's intensive care unit. In October 2011, a medical mission from the United States arrived at the hospital to provide specialized treatment, such as cardiac catheterization and podiatry consultations.
