The Town of Shaunavon has successfully recruited two new doctors for the community, while a Swift Current physician will be moving to Maple Creek.

     Dr Siva Balasingham has accepted a position at the Avon Medical Clinic, and is expected to arrive in Shaunavon from London, England, sometime in March.

     Dr Balasingham's husband, who is also a Physician, will be joining her at the clinic sometime in the spring.

     Shaunavon's Doctor Recruitment Committee continues to work with the Cypress Health Region to provide Physician Locum Services until the new doctors arrive.

     Meanwhile, the Cypress Health Region announced that Dr Ivo Radevski of the Southwest Medi-Centre will be leaving that practice.  He will provide services to the Maple Creek Primary Health Care Clinic three days a week.  Dr Radevski had previously worked in Maple Creek as a temporary Physician.

     He is expected to start in Maple Creek within the next three months, pending the recruitment of a replacement Physician in Swift Current.
