There are now new doctors working in the city of Weyburn.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority confirmed with Discover Weyburn three doctors started practicing in Weyburn at the Weyburn Health Centre earlier this month, while an additional doctor is working at the Weyburn Primary Health Care Clinic until the summer.

Dr. Ebelechukwu Ejiofor, Dr. Arian Ravaei and Dr. Saheed Gbamgbola are the three physicians at the Weyburn Health Centre. Dr. Pradeep Amarasooriya will be with the Primary Health Care Clinic until July.

In a written statement to Discover Weyburn, Trevor Tessier, the Director of Primary Health Care for Southeast 8, which includes Weyburn and the area, welcomes the new physicians to the practices in the community.

“We also want to extend thanks to the community of Weyburn for its patience while the recruitment process was underway,” Tessier added. “We anticipate these new physicians will improve speed and access to primary care services in Weyburn and area and help ensure the good health of our residents moving forward."
