Expectant mothers in the Pontiac will have to deliver their babies in Gatineau again this weekend, as the obstetrics unit at the Shawville Hospital is closed due to a lack of nursing staff.
There will be no obstetrical services offered from 4PM Friday until 4PM Monday afternoon.
Women in labour will be evaluated at Shawville and redirected to Gatineau Hospital unless delivery is imminent.
The CISSS Outaouais has already notified the expectant mothers it believes could be affected by the obstetric services shutdown.
