Cut Manitoba-North Dakota surgery agreement: health coalition
The Manitoba Health Coalition is calling on the provincial government to stop sending patients across the U.S. border for surgery, in the wake of anti-transgender legislation passed this week in North Dakota. The contract for spinal surgeries at Sanford Health’s clinic in Fargo, N.D., should be rescinded and the province should review all of its contracts for surgeries and diagnostic testing in the United States to make sure Manitobans aren’t being sent to sites with “discriminatory health-care laws,” said coalition provincial director Thomas Linner. “From a moral standpoint, should we be giving states that are currently in the process of restricting the medical rights of their citizens based on discriminatory politics rather than medical care the kind of cover that having a contract with a Canadian province would give them?” In 2022, the province’s diagnostic and surgical recovery task force signed an agreement with Sanford Health to perform spinal surgeries in Fargo for eligible Manitobans.© Winnipeg Free Press |
