REGINA, SASK. – The Government of Saskatchewan is planning to add more adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) capacity at the Royal University Hospital (RUH) in Saskatoon, Sask.
Two RFPs will be issued this month, a release said, to advance the design phase for ICU expansion and begin the second phase of a multi-year strategy to increase ICU capacity.
“Our government is pleased to be expanding critical care infrastructure at Royal University Hospital to support the medical needs of our growing population,” SaskBuilds and Procurement Minister Terry Jenson said. “Thanks to a strong and growing economy we are able to make strategic investments like this, that reinforces our commitment to delivering quality health care to the people of Saskatchewan.”
The Government of Saskatchewan announced a commitment to expanding adult ICU capacity in December 2021, the release said, and in June 22 delivered its first phase of its provincial ICU expansion commitments with 11 additional ICU beds across the province including Regina, Yorkton, Saskatoon and Prince Albert.
