Dauphin hospital offers kidney treatment again after flood

Patients can again get dialysis at the hospital in Dauphin, a town in western Manitoba. Dialysis is a treatment for people whose kidneys do not work well. A machine cleans their blood. A flood damaged the hospital at the end of June. After that, patients had to travel to other towns, such as Roblin, Brandon or Swan River, for dialysis. Now a temporary dialysis unit is open at the hospital. Several kinds of medical tests are back too, such as ultrasound and heart tests. Repair work on the hospital goes on. The province has not said when it will end.
