Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg will get another 50 beds to help reduce wait times, the province announced Monday.
There will be 35 medicine beds, 10 psychiatric beds and five surgical beds added to Manitoba’s biggest hospital, the provincial government said in a news release.
The beds will reduce overcrowding in the emergency department, said Premier Wab Kinew.
The 50 beds are among 151 new acute care beds at Manitoba hospitals funded in the provincial budget released April 2, the province said, including 31 new beds at Grace Hospital and 36 at St. Boniface Hospital that were announced in November and January, respectively.
The new HSC beds will open over the next two years, the news release said.
