Lucy Arngna’naaq was left alone in a Winnipeg hospital for six days, says her husband
A Baker Lake man says his family no longer trusts Nunavut’s Health Department after problems with the medevac flight system left two family members alone for several days in a Winnipeg hospital in separate incidents.
“Not being able to get on a medevac flight as an escort has become a problem,” Silas Arngna’naaq said in an interview Dec. 5.
Arngna’naaq described two separate incidents this year in which individual family members were unable to have medical escorts accompany them on their medevac flights south.
