The Manitoba government has appointed a new Shared Health board chair as well as new members to help tackle health challenges in the province, Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara announced today.

“I look forward to working with government to support and improve health-care services for Manitobans.”
These board members have been appointed to three-year terms:
- Roustam Souleymanov (Winnipeg);
