B.C. health system, including IH, impacted by global network disruption

July 19, 2024

The B.C. health system has been impacted by the global Crowdstrike disruption which is impacting our networks and computers across all systems. Our primary concern is the continuity and quality of patient care.

We have implemented contingency plans to ensure that our health-care services remain operational, and that patient care is not disrupted to the best of our ability. Please refer to this website for updates.

If you have any questions on a health-care appointment today, please call your health-care providers. Please do not call the hospital switchboards at this time.Update: Minister Dix statement on global system disruption
