Investigation into Patient’s Death at Winnipeg Hospital
A woman’s death, after reportedly waiting around 30 hours at a Winnipeg hospital before receiving medical attention, is being treated as a critical incident, according to the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA).
WRHA Statement
The WRHA confirmed that a “comprehensive review” of the case is underway. The incident occurred at the Health Sciences Centre (HSC), where the patient had gone seeking care but did not receive assistance in time.
Family’s Allegations
The woman’s family stated that during those long hours of waiting, her condition worsened significantly. They claim that repeated requests for help went unanswered until it was too late.
Ongoing Review and Accountability
Authorities said the internal investigation will analyze timelines, staff decisions, and systemic issues contributing to the delay. They also emphasized that findings will inform future safety and patient-care improvements within Winnipeg’s healthcare system.
"We recognize how devastating this loss is for the family," said a WRHA spokesperson. "Every effort is being made to understand what happened and prevent it from recurring."
Broader Context
The case has reignited public debate about hospital wait times and emergency care capacity in Manitoba, where similar delays have led to calls for reform.
