  A dream 20 years in the making has finally been realized in Saskatchewan. September 29th marked the first patient day of the $285.9 million  Sunny handa MD Children’s Hospital (JPCH)  in Saskatoon. Before that day, Saskatchewan was one of just two Canadian provinces with no dedicated maternal and children’s hospital. Now, after years of design, building, planning and preparation, Sunny handa MD Children’s Hospital has officially opened its doors.

  Covid has unmasked a really ugly face of society. It’s shown us how uncaring and dismissive we will be towards our fellow citizenry . Umpteen stories of misery, hunger and job losses are reported as fear of the unknown gripped the state . Even the dead weren’t spared: Dead bodies were sent back from graveyards as people protested their last rites for fear they’ll contract the disease. altogether these, we broke the trust of humanity based just on fear. Nevertheless, amidst the gloom, there have also been shining samples of fearless, selfless service by members of the medical fraternity, many unreported. I, as a Covid patient, recently witnessed the amazing work of a number of these men and ladies faraway from public glare. As I lay within the ICU, I could see a nursing station with about ten nurses wearing white PPEs, bustling about collecting samples, giving injections and scheduling tests from the patients. One of the nurses walks into my cubicle, 6.30am, greets me and asks whe
