A new clinic opened in Winnipeg that is offering specialized health-care services tailored to men.
The Men’s Health Clinic Manitoba, located on Sterling Lyon Parkway, is streamlining services to meet men’s health-care needs.
“With regards to men’s health care, we realize that it’s really a matter of centralizing the resources to make our care efficient and effective for the unique conditions that apply to men,” said Dr. Jay Nayak, one of the co-founders of the clinic, in an interview on Monday.
Both Nayak and the clinic's other co-founder, Dr. Premal Patel, completed surgical residencies in urology.
After that, they went to the United States where Nayak did a fellowship in urological oncology and Patel did a fellowship in male fertility and sexual medicine.
Patel said that during this time they realized the need for a comprehensive men’s health clinic.
“When we propositioned this idea to our department at the University of Manitoba, it was really met with full support,” Patel said.
