Today in Vancouver I committed to making sure every woman in B.C. gets the care she needs, at every stage of her life. For generations, women have been gaslit and ignored when they tried to get medical help. We’ve made real progress, and there’s more to do. Our plan will: 1. Open Canada’s first perinatal mental health unit at BC Women’s Hospital, so moms in crisis can heal with their baby by their side 2. Cover non-hormone menopause treatment through PharmaCare for breast cancer survivors and women who can’t use hormone therapy 3. Let pharmacists prescribe local vaginal estrogen, so it’s faster and easier to treat recurrent UTIs 4. Make menopause care part of everyday primary care and cut delays in diagnosing women’s health conditions 5. Strengthen community sexual and reproductive health services across B.C. The BC Conservatives’ candidates and health critic champion private, pay-for-care health care. We’d rather ask those at the top to chip in a bit more, so women get the care they deserve. That’s how we build B.C. strong.
