A report released by Dr. Bonnie Henry, British Columbia’s provincial health officer (PHO), provides a review of the provincial prescribed safer supply (PSS) policy and makes recommendations aimed at improving the lives of people who use drugs in B.C. and supporting clinicians in this work.

Public health officials in British Columbia continue to encourage everyone to book an appointment to receive their free influenza and updated COVID-19 vaccines now to protect themselves against severe illness and hospitalization.

People in B.C. will benefit from advanced patient care resulting from cutting-edge research and integrated health care as the Province approves the business plan and funding for the construction of a state-of-the-art Clinical Support and Research Centre (CSRC) at the new St. Paul’s Hospital.

Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) services will soon be available for people within a Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) clinical space adjacent to St. Paul’s Hospital.

People are rolling up their sleeves to protect themselves, their loved ones and the communities they live in against influenza and COVID-19 as the Province takes action to ensure it is easy and free to get immunized.

People in B.C. will soon benefit from increased access to cutting-edge, life-saving medical therapies with a new clinical trials unit (CTU) that will allow life sciences companies and researchers to test their discoveries within the province.
