Manitoba health officials are investigating a critical incident after the family of an 82-year-old woman said she died following a more than 30-hour wait for hospital care.

The family of Genevieve Price, 82, said she had a swollen hand and went to a minor injury clinic for care last week.

Clinic staff said Price required IV antibiotics and more intensive care, a social media post by her daughter said, and she was transferred to Grace Hospital.

She was put on a stretcher in the hallway and waited for hours, her daughter said. During that time, her situation worsened.

Price was transferred to St. Boniface Hospital, where she later died.
