Today in Victoria, BC, Official Opposition Health Critic MP @Murray
Rankin showed his support for Baby Boomer testing of hepatitis C by
“rolling up his sleeve” for the simple blood test. HepCBC was there to
record this special occasion. We applaud this kind of “hands-on” action
which shows leadership on the important health issue of un-diagnosed
hepatitis C.
Just before he took the test, Mr. Rankin said, “I think it’s
important that hepatitis C testing be done without any stigma…I’m here
to say as a Member of Parliament it is something that everybody should
do. It is something that is a wonderful health initiative and I’m
pleased to be doing it as well.”
