Surgeries from the Hull Hospital moved to the Shawville Hospital

Patients awaiting surgery at the Hull Hospital will be operated at other Outaouais facilities such as Shawville and Maniwaki. This is one of the measures taken by the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de l’Outaouais (CISSS) to address the shortage of nurses in the operating room at the Hull Hospital.

After a meeting with doctors on Friday, the CISSS de l’Outaouais had mentioned these changes in a statement, but without giving more details. On Saturday, the Director of Professional Services of the CISSS confirmed that this measure will go ahead.
