Free Bowel Cancer Screening
In Mid Central, free bowel screening is available for Māori and Pacific people aged 50 – 74 and from 60 to 74 for everyone else.
Around your birthday, you will receive an invitation, followed by a bowel screening test kit.
The bowel screening test is quick and simple to do by yourself at home. Make sure you do the test as soon as possible and send it back.
