PWN Urges BC Government to Cancel the Cuts

December 1, 2009: The BC Health Ministry marked World AIDS Day by delivering severe funding cuts to HIV/AIDS service directed Community Based Health Organizations (CBHO’s.). Eighteen percent of Canada’s estimated total HIV-positive population lives in BC.  Given that BC represents approximately thirteen percent of the overall population of Canada; BC has a disproportionate share of the HIV burden. These funding cuts by the government will create a severe public health risk.

Join Positive Women’s Network and many others- add your voice to the growing numbers of people who want to see these funding cuts canceled. This is a call to action. The BC government must CANCEL THE CUTS!
