The province is spending $50 million to address a backlog of surgeries and procedures.
Manitoba premier Brian Pallister announced the funding on Wednesday afternoon, and said this major investment will address wait times for priority procedures and services, as well as hip, knee and cataract procedures.
Pallister also called on the federal government to “come to the table as a true, reliable funding partner on health care” in the face of “ever-increasing health-care wait times in this country.”
More details on this new funding will be announced following the release of Budget 2021.
