The Sir Lester Bird Medical Center (SLBMC) says its MRI machine and two CT scans are functional.
In a press statement, the Hospital said it would like to address recent rumors regarding the functionality of these two pieces of equipment.
The hospital assures the public that these machines are fully operational and ready to serve patients who need these vital imaging services.
According to the statement, while technical issues may occasionally arise, their dedicated management team ensures that repairs are conducted in the shortest time possible to minimize any inconvenience to patients.
