Provide $60M towards a cardiac catheterization laboratory at Nanaimo General Hospital
"The Conservative Party of BC is committing $60 million in provincial funding toward a cardiac catheterization laboratory at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital.
The commitment would advance a long-awaited project intended to provide more timely, potentially life-saving cardiac treatment for more than 450,000 residents of Central and Northern Vancouver Island.
Currently, patients requiring specialized interventional cardiac procedures must often be transferred to Victoria or the Lower Mainland, creating additional delays and placing considerable strain on patients, families and emergency medical services."
