Dear CANP Members,
Please be informed that the Canadian Association of Neuropathologists has formally sent the attached letter to Dr. Howard Njoo, Chief Medical Officer of Health of Canada, regarding the abrupt cessation of Public Health Agency of Canada funding for the CJD Neuropathology Program.
As outlined in the letter, this decision has significant implications for patient care, public health surveillance, and the national capacity to diagnose and monitor prion diseases. The correspondence details the concerns raised by the membership and emphasizes the importance of reinstating support for this essential national program.
We will keep you updated on any responses or developments as they arise. Thank you for your continued engagement and commitment to this issue.”
On behalf of the CANP Board of Directors,
Veronica Hirsch-Reinshagen
CANP Secretary-Treasurer
