The Saskatchewan Health Authority is advising the public of a temporary disruption of Anesthesia Services at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre.

The disruptions will take place today (Mon) at 4 p.m. until tomorrow (Tues) at 8 a.m., then again from tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock to Wednesday morning at 8 o’clock.

Surgical and obstetrical consultation is still available but emergent surgeries and C-Sections will not be possible during this time.

The SHA says expectant mothers should call the Yorkton Hospital at 306-782-2401 at the first signs of labour to allow enough time for risk assessment, consultation, and a safe plan for delivery.

Obstetrical services remain available in Estevan, Humboldt, Regina, and Saskatoon.
