The program and surgeries will run out of the Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg. Once the program is fully operational, about 50 epilepsy surgeries will be completed each year, including 20 adult surgeries and 30 pediatric surgeries. The province hopes this will mean fewer patient visits to the ER and reduced admissions, including less demand for diagnostic scans and a reduced need to send patients out of province for care. The surgery also significantly improves the lives of those living with epilepsy and reduces their ongoing healthcare needs. The program’s expected to start next spring - but the province still needs to recruit a neurosurgeon for it to begin.
