More than 500 Manitoba midwives are expected to attend a protest at the government Wednesday, calling for changes in the state’s health-care program. Despite a shift in provincial authorities about two years ago, the Manitoba Nurses Union says its members are also encountering the same cracked health-care system change after change and that they are feeling disappointed and frustrated with the lack of progress. President Darlene Jackson told 680 CJOB’s The Start that wait times are off and working crime is increasing, turning some nurses away from the job. ” There’s probably not a change in the last year that there hasn’t been crime in some hospital, or possibly all features, some type of crime … and that is massive”.Nurses are leaving because of it. I had one caregiver that said to me,’ I loved my job at the Health Sciences Centre, but I’m not putting my life at risk to go to operate. ‘” Jackson said promises made by the NDP government have, so far, seemed empty, and nurses are growing more frustrated as morale continues to deteriorate” .We are still seeing nurses working short with the incredibly heavy workloads — mandated overtime and tons of voluntary overtime is still a thing,” she said “.Our wait times are rising eyery year. They rose again this year. Caregivers are frustrated because we really hoped that we would see some major differences in health treatment based on the claims and we’re just not seeing that. ” Jackson, who has been a nurse since 1981, told The Start the state of wellbeing treatment in the state is now worse than it was in the 1990s when midwives went on strike. While the MNU says it would give the state’s current health care position a D-minus class, a spokesperson for Doctors Manitoba said that business has a slightly more positive view “.Looking at the evidence we have on health care, and considering there was a pandemic and years of disruption and underfunding, Doctors Manitoba would grade the progress of the last 18 months as a B-minus — improvement still needed, but on the right track,” they said in a statement.

The spokesperson said Manitobans still have reasons to have concerns about the system — with’ unreasonably long’ wait times and hospitals experiencing service closures, plus burnout among doctors. Improvement has been seen, however, as far as recruitment to turn around the doctor shortage and wait-time improvements in certain areas “.There’s still a lot that as to get better, but it’s safe to say Manitoba is on the right track when it comes to improving health care,” the statement said.
