The province now has a fourth mobile harm reduction van and it is located in North Battleford.

The purpose of the mobile units is to transport safer supplies to the community to save lives and help reduce the spread of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections.

The government says the harm reduction vans are already making a difference on the streets of Saskatoon, Regina and Yorkton.

The van and its personnel deliver basic health care, such as, treating wounds and infections, and HIV testing. The North Battleford van will employ two staff and operate on evenings and weekends; providing necessary supports during hours when public health locations are closed. The van will generally operate three days a week, including evenings and weekends. D

Planning is currently underway to implement an additional mobile harm reduction services van in Prince Albert in 2022 as well as three new community wellness buses that will travel to communities in south, central and northern Saskatchewan in spring of 2023.
