Doctors for Safer Drug Policy have staged a pop-up overdose prevention site outside a Victoria hospital.

Advocates say hospital-based facilities are needed to serve drug users who may either avoid getting treatment without them or be forced to leave hospital grounds and fatally overdose.

B.C. Health Minister Josie Osborne said she has met with the doctors and agrees services for drug users are necessary.
