Three new pediatricians in the Interlake-Eastern health region are currently accepting referrals.
Dr. Wail Seleem started in December 2025 and is based in Selkirk and Eriksdale. Dr. Hammam Akil started in October 2024 and is in Selkirk and Pine Falls. Dr. Carla Bowes is a developmental pediatrician who started in October 2025 and is working in Gimli and Arborg.
All three pediatricians are working as part of a team to serve communities within the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority. Contact your primary care provider to schedule a referral.
“For years, families in our region had no local pediatric specialists,” said Dr. Scott Gregoire, vice-president of medical services and chief medical officer for Interlake-Eastern RHA.
“Having three pediatricians now serving our communities is a major step forward that will improve care for children and reduce the need for families to travel for essential services.”
