Staff and leadership within northwestern Ontario’s healthcare system say certain emergent, urgent and elective surgeries will continue in local hospitals, despite Ontario’s order to ramp down these procedures.
The province told all hospitals to begin to cease all non-essential and elective surgeries earlier this month, everywhere pediatric specialty hospitals. It was a similar order issued last March during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as more resources are needed for patients in intensive care units.
But President and CEO of the Lake of the Woods District Hospital, Ray Racette, explains his staff are in the best position to determine if the patient’s surgery should continue, noting many residents have been on a waiting list since early 2020.
