The mini-hospitals promised by the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) will ultimately be focused exclusively on the care of seniors to treat minor health problems. They will not have operating theaters and patients will not be able to go there directly.
The government now wants to use it to “deal with the aging of the population”, announced the office of Minister of Health Christian Dubé on Wednesday morning.
Halfway between the family medicine group (GMF) and the hospital, this new type of establishment will only offer short-term care.
Patients will not be able to go there themselves, but must be referred there by emergency or 811.
Calls for tenders to develop the first two mini-hospitals must be launched by the end of the month to open one in Quebec and a second in Montreal.
Contrary to what was planned, the Quebec facility will not be specialized in pediatric care.
This announcement was strongly denounced by the Conservative Party of Quebec (PCQ), which sees it as an “about-face” on the part of the government. The PCQ hoped that mini-hospitals would pave the way for greater openness in private health.
