While the Saint John Regional Hospital is raising funds for equipment used in cutting edge cancer treatment, one doctor is worried about the affect Canadian Blood Services’ impending move will have on that treatment.
Director of the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program Dr. Terrence Comeau tells CHSJ News losing the blood production lab complicates things in the many departments, including oncology.
He says having a blood production lab is critical if Saint John wants to become the epicentre of advanced treatment.
The blood production lab is moving to Dartmouth later this year.
