Cancer Patients Forced to Wait Weeks for Crucial Tests

Imagine being diagnosed with cancer and being told you have to wait more than six weeks to have crucial tests performed. That’s what happened to more than 5,200 cancer patients in the United Kingdom. A watchdog group blames it on the government’s massive reorganization of the health services department in the United Kingdom.

NHS carried out 1.6 million tests in October 2013, a 4 per cent increase compared to the previous year. A Department of Health spokesperson says, “But we are very clear that the vast majority of patients shouldn’t have to wait longer than six weeks for a test and we expect the NHS to take action to reduce these waits.”

People with cancer should not also be faced with unnecessary delays in their care. It’s scenarios like these that support USARAD.com and its goal to provide affordable healthcare in a timely fashion to patients across the world.
