hospital


Different circumstances have left the Swift Current Hospital without the services of a general surgeon for emergency surgeries.

Dr. Ahmad has extended his return home to the United Kingdom for personal reasons while Dr. Ghori is only doing scheduled elective surgeries while he prepares to write his Royal College certification exams.

Executive Director of Communications for the Cypress Health Region Bryce Martin:

“In the event that an emergency comes into the regional hospital that requires general surgery that patient would then be transferred to another tertiary centre, either in Regina, Saskatoon (or) Moose Jaw.”

Martin says some surgeries could still be done by their specialists.

He adds the two general surgeons will both be back working shortly and this won't be a long-term problem.
