BCHS to address gaps in cancer care for refugees in Bendigo
- Wednesday 8 February 2023
A new program developed by Bendigo Community Health Services aims to ensure Karen and Afghan refugees don’t miss out on vital cancer screening, treatment and care.
BCHS has welcomed State Government funding for the Cancer service supports for refugee patients in Bendigo program, enabling it to use its strong connections with refugees to ensure they receive the best cancer care available.
BCHS Senior Leader Refugee and Cultural Diversity Kaye Graves said Bendigo was a destination of choice for a growing number of Karen and Afghan humanitarian refugees and BCHS has been welcoming them for the last 12 years.
