Five patients facing delays in Manitoba’s health-care system were among 16 deaths listed in the province’s latest critical incident reports.

The deaths are part of 59 separate incidents between April 1 and Sept. 30, 2025.

According to the reports, two patients experienced delays in response to their medical conditions, two patients experienced delays in accessing care, and one patient experienced a delay in treatment.
