On Monday, May 25th from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm:
Cool Aid Society nurses and HepCBC will hold a public Hepatitis C info session for BC’s MLAs combined with a HEP-C TEST-IN session in Victoria, BC at the BC Parliament Building in the Hemlock Room and the First Aid room. So far one MLA has agreed to the simple blood test for hepatitis C, but all will be invited. We hope the press will be there to cover several MLAs “rolling up their sleeves” to emphasize the importance of HCV testing, particularly for Baby Boomers who may have it and not know it, putting them in danger of liver failure and several types of cancer.
Opposition Health Critic and Victoria MP Murray Rankin did a public test for hepatitis C last month in Victoria at Percuro Clinic. See photos here: http://hepcbc.bchep.org/2015/04/mp-health-critic-murray-rankin-gets-tested-for-hepatitis-c/.
