An investigation is underway into the death of a patient at a Winnipeg hospital.
CTV News has confirmed a patient died at the Health Sciences Centre on Monday, Feb. 27.
“While privacy legislation prevents us from speaking to specifics of a patient case, we are able to confirm that we are investigating a potential critical incident that occurred during a one-hour window on February 27 in the HSC Winnipeg emergency department,” reads an email from a Shared Health spokesperson. “An initial review of the circumstances surrounding this event is underway.”
The province defines a critical incident as “an unintended event that occurs when health services are provided to an individual and results in a consequence to him or her that is serious and undesired,” which includes death, disability or injury.
This is a developing story. More to come.
