The surge has forced CHEO to open a temporary intensive care unit, which has mostly been filled with children under the age of two having difficulty breathing. Like other children’s hospitals, CHEO has also cancelled some surgeries and treatments, and continues to see long waits in its emergency department.
“We want to make sure that our pediatric hospitals, like CHEO, are right-sized to the needs of our growing population and continue to provide world-class critical care when families need it most. We are proud to be investing in CHEO to help double their pediatric and intensive critical care bed capacity,” Jones said in a statement.
