THE PROJECT

The Patient Wait Times Guarantee (PWTG) pilot project is an 18-month program to establish and implement a wait times guarantee for the prevention, treatment and care of diabetic foot ulcers in Manitoba First Nation communities. The partners working on this project are Saint Elizabeth Health Care (SEHC), a not-for-profit charitable health care organization, and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC), the political body representing 64 Manitoba First Nations. Funded by Health Canada, the project was announced by the Minister of Health in January 2007, with the project commencing as of April 1, 2007.

The goal of the project is to reduce the significant impacts of foot ulcers in First Nations individuals with diabetes in Manitoba.
