TORONTO -- A possible cyberattack may be behind a major, province-wide IT outage that hit Newfoundland and Labrador’s health-care system over the weekend and prompted the province to cancel many non-u
rgent appointments, authorities said on Monday.
As a result, the province said it has activated its provincial emergency operations centre to better address the impact. “Pretty much all of our systems at Eastern Health at the moment are not functional as a result of this particular outage,” said Eastern Health CEO David Diamond. This means everything including patient registration and information, all email, diagnostic imaging and lab results are currently inaccessible, he added.
