NDP CALLS FOR COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM
B.C. Liberal delays put B.C. four years behind other provinces
VANCOUVER – New Democrats are calling for a province-wide colorectal cancer screening program to protect people in British Columbia, where colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death.
“Experts have been calling for a screening program for years, and it is time for the government to take a serious look at this. An effective screening program will not only save lives, it will also reduce overall healthcare costs, making it a viable solution to combat this deadly disease,” said Adrian Dix, the New Democrat health critic.
