Dr. Katherine Knox disputed claims by advocates who accused Saskatchewan's public health-care system of not providing follow-up services to multiple sclerosis patients from the province who have travelled abroad for the controversial treatment.

The clinic will offer screening and follow-up care for patients with CCSVI, but those … Continue reading →
