Dr Clive Price: GP on launching his own bowel cancer screening company to address ongoing shortfalls

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

Bowel cancer is the biggest cause of cancer deaths in Kiwis under 50, but plenty of experts have raised concerns over the current screening process. New Zealand's national screening programme doesn’t kick in until 58, and advocates are calling for more to be done to screen younger Kiwis. GP Dr Clive Price recently moved from the UK, and he's set up a screening company called Truescreen to fill the gaps. "It's about just filling that gap in the market, really, and offering a service to Kiwis."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
