This morning, Premier Brian Pallister announced that the province is investing $812 million to improve access and quality of care for Manitobans.
Today’s announcement includes a provincial capital investment for around 38 projects. Together, these projects will form the foundation of Manitoba’s new Provincial Clinical Network, a system of health services that will improve access and enhance the quality and reliability of care while reducing provincial wait times.
Premier Brian Pallister says the new investment from the provincial government will build, renew, and expand sites across the province.
“Better health care for all Manitobans, with reduced wait times and improved access with more services closer to home, requires a bold vision and action plan for a stronger, more prosperous province.”
He adds that nearly $70 million in funding will establish the Brandon Regional Health Centre as a centralized hub of specialized services for western Manitoba.
The clinical network will reduce the need for many Manitobans to travel long distances for care by providing more services in a community closer to home.
