Ontario Deputy Premier and Health Minister Christine Elliott has announced an additional C$9m ($6.85m) investment for the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus redevelopment.
The investment will help end Hallway health care in Canada’s capital. It is also part of the Ontario Government’s C$27bn ($20.57bn) investment to upgrade hospital infrastructure in the province over the next decade.
Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus provides primary and secondary hospital services for the local community.
Elliott said: “By investing in the redevelopment of the Ottawa Hospital – Civic Campus, we are protecting what matters most to patients and families in Ottawa and across Eastern Ontario.
“When completed, the new state-of-the-art facility will reflect the high-quality, specialised care that is delivered at this hospital, and will create more capacity and reduce wait times.
“This project is another example of how our government continues to deliver on our commitment to end hallway health care.”
