Un projet de maison de naissance à Laval piétine
AI Article Summary

There is an ongoing effort to establish a birthing center in Laval, Quebec, as the city currently lacks such a facility despite its large population. Residents, including advocates like Rosalind Wong and local officials such as Mayor Stéphane Boyer, are pushing for this project, arguing that Laval is underserved with only one overflowing hospital. The process is stalled due in part to disagreements about resource allocation with local hospitals and governmental inaction. The initiative faces challenges from budget constraints and staffing shortages identified by the Ministry of Health.
