Sask. First Nation considers starting up MRI clinic


The Muskeg Lake Cree Nation of Saskatchewan is in discussions to start an MRI clinic on its urban reserve.

Tribal leaders are talking with federal and provincial officials to clarify whether the tribe can run the clinic. Private-run health facilities aren't allowed in Saskatchewan.

The idea came because Saskatchewan has one of the longest waiting lists for MRI tests.

An MRI machine costs about $2 million.
