NANAIMO, B.C. — The city of Nanaimo on central Vancouver Island is the latest British Columbia community to receive government approval for a cancer care centre, Premier David Eby said Friday.
B.C.'s growing and aging population has stretched demand and need for cancer treatment across the province, Eby told a news conference in Nanaimo.
The government also recently approved temporarily sending B.C. cancer patients to clinics in neighbouring Washington state to reduce wait lists at provincial treatment centres.
