Ontario is expanding its publicly funded private community surgical and diagnostic centres with an investment of $155 million over the next two years. This initiative aims to open 57 new facilities, including 35 for MRI and CT scans, and 22 for gastrointestinal endoscopy services. Premier Doug Ford stated that this expansion will alleviate hospital burdens and address the significant wait times for patients needing these services. The investment is part of broader healthcare reforms initiated by the Progressive Conservative government to manage a backlog of surgical and diagnostic tests.
