In New Zealand, a bowel cancer screening programme is being rolled out region by region for those without symptoms.
The National Bowel Screening Programme is free for men and women aged 60 to 74 years who are eligible for publicly funded healthcare. It aims to save lives by finding bowel cancer at an early stage when it can often be successfully treated.
For more information, talk to your doctor, call 0800 924 432, or visit the screening website: www.timetoscreen.nz/bowel-screening/
