MSP
By expanding MSP coverage for naturopathic services, we aim to reduce the financial burden on patients and increase access to a wider range of healthcare options. This change would help address patient demand for integrative care while alleviating strain on the conventional healthcare system. BCND is proud to collaborate with our colleagues across paramedical professions to advocate for equitable coverage that truly meets the health needs of British Columbians. Through these efforts, we are working toward a more inclusive healthcare system that reflects the diversity of patient choices and care preferences.
