More surgeries will be impacted at the Victoria General (VG) campus at the QEII in Halifax, Tuesday, after a power outage at the hospital over the weekend.
In a statement Monday evening, Nova Scotia Health says clinical leaders continue to “review and prioritize” scheduled surgeries by either rescheduling or relocating.
“Nova Scotia Health’s management service and clinical leaders continue to address the impacts,” says the health authority in a statement.
It was Friday night at about 11:30 p.m., when the power went out at the VG due to a problem with the backup generator. It was restored by 5:30 a.m., Saturday.
However, operating rooms in the Centennial building remain closed until the backup generator is fixed.
It is unclear at this time how many procedures have been affected.
If you are impacted, you will be contacted by your care team.
