ER closures expected as doctors concerned over rural and Northern Manitoba health care
Prairie Mountain says it's working to recruit doctors and other health care staff to try and reinstate normal operations.
Officials are urging people dealing with emergency situations to call 9-1-1.
"We thank the residents of Prairie Mountain Health for their patience and understanding during this time. Please help by using the Emergency Department during the designated hours for the purpose it was designed for – to manage serious health care needs. All less serious health care needs should be addressed through your primary care (doctor or nurse practitioner’s) clinic," the health authority said on its website.
The latest restrictions and closures come as hospitals deal with staffing shortages all across the province.
