The free National Bowel Screening Programme is launching
Bowel cancer can develop with no warning signs. Finding it early with the free bowel screening test could save your life.
Within the next two years, everyone aged 60 to 74 who lives in the Counties Manukau area and can receive publicly funded healthcare, will get an invitation letter, a consent form and a test kit.
It's important that you do the test as soon as possible, and post it back. The test is easy, clean, and you can do it at home.
To find out more call 0800 924 432, visit www.timetoscreen.nz, or talk to your family doctor.
