The Northern Health Region has given an update on the situation regarding the Thompson General Hospital's operating rooms.

The NRHA's Communications Coordinator, Twyla Storey, says construction will be completed by next week and clean up will take place during the first week of March.

Storey goes on to say that the ORs are on track to be open on March 9th, and the hospital has started the process of booking patients for procedures.

Three of the ORs sustained major water damage last June, after a faulty air conditioning unit located about the ORs caused flooding.

This caused the hospital to limit procedures to life-and-limb saving surgeries until the ORs were renovated.
