Windsor Regional Hospital is getting more funding for on-call services.
The Ontario government is providing $222,588 to support more on-call funding for doctors working after hours.
“When it comes to healthcare, our focus remains on ensuring patients receive the care they need when they need it,” said MPP Andrew Dowie. “The status quo is no longer acceptable, and I’m proud to be part of a government that innovates with programs like the Windsor Essex Ontario Health Team’s (OHT) Mobile Clinic and Pharmacists being able to prescribe medications for common ailments.”
The funding will provide more after-hours coverage for both hospital sites.
“We want to thank the Ford government for revisiting the HOCC process that was not refreshed for many years. We look forward to working with the Ministry of Health on continually updating the process moving forward,” said David Musyj, President and CEO, of Windsor Regional Hospital.
