Posted: Apr. 14, 2024 5:43PMA new advocacy group is calling for help at the Nanaimo hospital where it says there is a huge disparity between health-care facilities in the capital city and their region.

The group, called Fair Care Alliance, also says the hospital and its staff are nearly always overwhelmed. Hais says there are a number of inequities in healthcare for those south of the Malahat when compared to those north of it, especially when it comes to cardiac care, which could mean the difference between life and death when emergencies happen.

B.C.’s Health Minister responded, saying, “We’re building hundreds of new long-term care beds, which are significantly needed in that community, delivered that,a new high acuity unit, and we are now building a new cancer centre for Nanaimo. These are unprecedented investments in that hospital,” said Adrian Dix.
