Limited Patient Transfers to Manitoba
26-11-2020
At this time, emergency patient transfers to Manitoba have been suspended – unless they are considered “life or limb” (meaning the patient is at risk of losing life or limb). This is an order from the Manitoba government, in response to the increasing pandemic pressures on their healthcare system. Access to care must be preserved for those that are most critically ill. At this time, transfers out of Red Lake for other specialized services, such as pediatrics or obstetrics, will be sent to an alternate location in Ontario. We appreciate your understanding.
