Ontario health advocates demand reversal of blood test privatization after LifeLabs closed Sudbury lab, citing access and quality concerns.
The Ontario Health Coalition is urging the provincial government to reverse the privatization of outpatient blood testing, following LifeLabs’ closure of its Sudbury lab and loss of 40 lab technician jobs.
The group argues that shifting community lab services to for-profit, U.S.-owned corporations like Quest Diagnostics has reduced access and quality, despite public funding through fee-for-service contracts.
They say the province can terminate its agreement with LifeLabs and restore testing to public hospitals to improve care integration, strengthen local health infrastructure, and ensure more accountable, reliable service.
