Staffing shortages at PG’s University Hospital could result in coverage gaps in obstetrical services starting next month related to high-risk pregnancies.
In a Facebook Post published on Monday, the health authority noted residents who are pregnant and greater than 20 weeks into their pregnancy, are eligible for medical services at the Labour and Delivery Department at UHNBC.
The hospital is experiencing a shortage of Royal College Obstetrical specialists that provide care and consultative services to high-risk pregnant individuals.
Gaps in specialist coverage have the potential to require service reductions and will likely result in occasions where patients may need to be transferred to another centre in the province at no cost.
The full statement can be found below.
