Today we are moving forward to improve abortion access in the province. Changes to Regulation 84-20 have been approved that will allow medicare to cover the cost of surgical abortions performed outside of hospitals. These changes align New Brunswick with most other provinces in covering the cost, whether an abortion is performed in a hospital or a clinic. www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en…

THANK YOU NEW BRUNSWICK ❤️

Eligible people aged 40-49 with no signs, symptoms or previous diagnosis of breast cancer will be able to self-refer for breast cancer screening as of June 3. Make screening for breast cancer part of your self-care routine. Screening saves lives. Learn more about how you can self-refer for breast cancer screening. www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en…
UPDATE: The Canadian Cancer Society is updating its position on breast screening to reflect evolving evidence and calls for action from patients who are frustrated that many women aged 40 to 49 are being excluded from breast screening as well as the national guidelines developed by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care. We’re urging provinces and territories to lower the start age for breast screening programs to 40 for individuals at an average risk of developing breast cancer. Many provinces and territories have taken steps to expand access to this age group, and we applaud those actions. Access to breast screening is important to find breast cancer early when chances of successful treatment are better. Learn more about our new position on breast screening: bit.ly/3UHh1k6
