Staff shortages cause labour and delivery unit closure at Fort Saskatchewan hospital

At least 2 other health facilities seeing temporary nighttime closures to deal with staff shortagesStarting Saturday, the Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital will temporarily close its obstetrics unit for at least two weeks.The agency says pregnant patients who planned on delivering at the hospital will need to adjust their birth plans to instead deliver at the Sturgeon Community Hospital, which is about a half-hour drive away.

An emergency directive calling for some patients in Edmonton hospitals to be treated in hallways was lifted Thursday after Alberta Health Services was able to place some patients in other facilities. Similar staffing shortages have been seen in other provinces, with Ontario temporarily closing some of its emergency departments and Quebec workers being asked to report to work with serious COVID-19 symptoms in order to avoid critical gaps in care.

Another bang up job by the conservatives.

You mean pregnant women?

Quit pretending vaccines work and bring back the staff. Better yet why don’t you ask the govt what justifies this nonsense anymore on behalf of your employer, the Cdn tax payers.

Pregnant patients can deliver at an imaginary woke hospital.
