Edmonton's Stollery Children's Hospital is experiencing a large and sustained surge of seriously ill patients, Alberta Health Services said Tuesday.
Dr. Carina Majaesic, medical director at the Stollery, said the hospital has declared an emergency provision that allows it to move staff around to redeploy to the areas of greatest need.
Majaesic didn't say how many physicians are being redeployed.
The hospital's pediatric intensive care unit is currently at 100 per cent capacity and is bracing for a further increase.
