Work on track to open temporary Dauphin ER by Sept. 7: Manitoba government

The Manitoba government is on schedule to open a temporary emergency department in Dauphin by September 7, according to recent announcements. The ER will be set up on the main floor of the Dauphin Regional Health Centre, utilizing temporary power, water, and other services while repairs are made in other parts of the hospital. A severe flood in early July caused significant damage, forcing the evacuation of all patients and potentially leading to a full restoration timeline of up to a year.

In the interim, a mobile CT unit will be available on-site within weeks, and other necessary services such as dialysis and chemotherapy will be provided by other regional hospitals. No specific timeline for the complete repair of the health centre has been disclosed.
