Manitoba Government Adds 800 Hip and Knee Surgeries in Selkirk

More Surgeries at Selkirk Regional Health Centre Will Mean Lower Wait Times: Asagwara

The Manitoba government is making sure more families can get the care they need and enjoy their lives to the fullest by adding 800 hip and knee surgeries at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre, Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara announced today.

“We want to see more Manitobans lead active lives with their families and see less Manitobans waiting in pain,” said Asagwara. “Adding more surgeries in the Interlake means more patients and families are getting the care they need. Cutting wait times for surgeries doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t have to fly across an ocean to get good care, we just need more staff in Manitoba. That’s what this announcement is all about. More surgeons, more nurses, more surgeries, and faster care for you.”
