If other provinces have a health emergency, will that mean the telephone nurses won’t be available to NWT residents?
No. There are enough nurses to handle calls, even when there are health emergencies in other places receiving services by this company. In unusual situations, you may have to wait up to 30 minutes to talk to a nurse. This is still probably quicker than the time it would take to talk to a local nurse or doctor. Of course, if you have an emergency – or think you do – you should seek help within your community right away.
