The obstetrical services at Meadow Lake Hospital are about to be temporarily on hold.
The disruption begins at 5 p.m. this evening and will last until 8 a.m. on Monday. According to the Saskatchewan Health Authority, this is due to an unexpected physician shortage at the hospital.
During this disruption, all patients requiring obstetrical services will be screened and redirected to North Battleford, while high risk patients will be sent to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon. Any obstetrical patients screening COVID-19 positive will be redirected to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital or Lloydminster.
