On September 6, Minister Abbott officially opened the new perinatal/neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. "In addition to being more sensitive to the needs of the new family, this new unit includes four additional NICU beds for newborn infants, which will assist in reducing the number of transfers of moms and babies off Vancouver Island," said Abbott.
