MAHCP represents 85% of Manitoba’s Allied Health Care professionals. Our membership includes more than 160 professions.
CBC Manitoba interviewed MAHCP President Bob Moroz on the current COVID-19 outbreaks at St. Boniface Hospital. Here are his comments:
"Government and the employers got a lot of time to figure these things out, so when we're learning now that an infection is actually being spread within the facility, it goes to questioning of the protocols," said Bob Moroz, president of MAHCP, which represents 6,500 respiratory therapist, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, lab technicians and more.
"We're all concerned about not only an infection like this being present in one of our facilities, but also for the health and safety of each of our members and all of the all of the workers and patients."
