Dr. Price
Dr. Price is the founder of True Proactive, a company dedicated to providing bowel cancer screening in New Zealand after identifying a gap in the availability of such services for younger patients. His initiative stemmed from his personal experiences and observations of bowel cancer's impact, particularly its status as the leading cause of cancer deaths among Kiwis under 50. Price's advocacy for earlier screening aligns with international standards, yet he has encountered challenges with health officials regarding the integration of private screening into the public health system. Recently, he was in the news due to an incident involving a Health NZ official who masqueraded as a patient to gather information from him, raising ethical concerns about the methods used by health authorities.
