The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is resuming more medical imaging and surgical services next Tuesday, including some elective surgeries.SHA facilities are operating at about half of their pre-COVID-19 surgical capacities.
Over the next few weeks, capacity is expected to expand to up to 70 per cent. The SHA also hopes to make 90 per cent of medical imaging services, like MRIs and CT scans, available during the second phase of its resumption plan.
The availability of medical imaging services is already nearing that target.“The resumption services will work as aggressively as possible to prioritize those folks that have had their procedures postponed,” SHA CEO Scott Livingstone said.“We will be working as quickly as possible to address.
