A southwestern Manitoba medical clinic says the addition of a new physician will help improve access to timely care for patients in the region.
The Deloraine Medical Clinic recently welcomed Dr. Zarar Alam to its medical team. The clinic says Alam is now offering same-day and walk-in appointments Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Clinic officials say the expanded service will allow patients of all ages to receive care for a range of acute issues without needing to wait for a scheduled appointment.
Alam provides treatment for common illnesses such as colds, flu and minor infections, as well as care for minor injuries including cuts, sprains and strains. The clinic says patients can also visit for prescription refills and help managing urgent symptoms.
Prairie Mountain Health says Alam’s presence is helping support existing physicians in the community.
“The presence of Dr. Alam as a locum physician is greatly appreciated by Prairie Mountain Health,” said Dr. Adrian Fung, VP Medical Services, Chief Medical Officer, Prairie Mountain Health. “His presence and support of the two local physicians in providing care to the community of Deloraine, as well as the surrounding area, is appreciated.”
