  "account": "The Manitoba government has opened a temporary emergency department at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre following extensive flooding that damaged the facility. Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara announced on Tuesday that the reopening by Labour Day was a \"monumental effort,\" though there is still much work to complete. The emergency department now offers 24-hour services, along with in-house X-ray, ultrasound, and lab services. Operating under temporary power, water, and other infrastructure, the department is providing essential care to patients in the flood-affected area. In early July, early July flooding knocked the hospital offline and forced the evacuation of all patients. While the government has indicated a mobile CT scan unit is expected to arrive within weeks, there is no set timeline for restoring other services such as surgery and endoscopy.",
  "summary": "A temporary emergency department opened in Dauphin, Man., months after flooding deemed the local hospital unusable, Manitoba's health minister said.",
