Saskatchewan Health Minister on lowering the mammogram age and women’s health

Loading player...
Today on the show, we’ve been taking a closer look at Saskatchewan lowering the age for mammograms without a referral — as of January 1, women 43 and older could access the BreastCheck program. The plan is to gradually lower that age to 40 in the coming months in the hopes of catching cancer earlier. To help us understand what this change means for Saskatchewan women and how it will be rolled out, Evan speaks with Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill.
