WINNIPEG - Thirteen U.S.-trained doctors have come to Manitoba since May as part of a provincial government effort to recruit health professionals and reduce wait times, Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara said Friday.

The increase followed the establishment last spring of a dedicated recruitment and retention office and is well above the three or fewer American doctors recruited in each of the last six years, tabulated by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba.
