Matane Hospital [MISE À JOUR]

The ciss du Bas-Saint-Laurent wishes to inform the population of Matanie that the work is continuing following the water damage that occurred this morning at the Matane hospital.

Operating room 1 is being dried. Fortunately, the damage was limited to this sector of the plant.

In the next few hours, however, appraisals will be carried out to assess their extent. A realistic timeline for the resumption of surgical activities should be known on Monday.

Under the circumstances, the surgeries scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are therefore postponed. The 18 affected patients will be informed quickly.

Treatment of urgent cases

In addition, the CISSS du Bas-Saint-Laurent confirms that it is working to restore operating room 2 of the Matane hospital to accommodate urgent cases that cannot be transferred to Rimouski.

In addition, an obstetrics service corridor from Matane hospital to Rimouski hospital is already planned, as long as the situation has not returned to normal in Matane. Finally, it should be noted that the corridor of the obstetrics and surgery service which was in place between the hospitals Sainte-Anne-des-Monts and Matane has been moved to the hospital of Maria.

Information on this subject is available at the CISSS de la Gaspésie.
