This is our story of how we are rewriting what cancer care means.
Cancer remains one of the greatest global health challenges in the world, with many people affected in some way. But in Bermuda, something different is happening.
Rewriting Cancer follows Malcolm Trott, a Bermudian cancer survivor, and his experience of receiving world-class treatment close to home. His story is a lens into the experiences of many people in our community.
This film was produced for BCHC by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions.
Care Without Barriers
No one in Bermuda should have to choose between cancer treatment and cost.
At Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre, cancer treatment has no co-pay. Every patient receives the care they need, regardless of their ability to pay.
But equitable cancer care means more than removing the bill. Our radiation therapy unit is accredited by the American College of Radiation Oncology and the Canadian Association of Radiologists — the first international centre to achieve it.
In 2025, we delivered 210 courses of radiation therapy in Bermuda: 210 times someone was treated close to home, surrounded by the people who love them.
Behind every one of those courses is a neighbour, a colleague, a friend — cared for by people who know them, in the place they call home. That is what we set out to build, and what Bermuda's story is now showing the world.
Closing the Gap
For too long, a cancer diagnosis meant leaving Bermuda for treatment. Malcolm's journey shows how that is changing, and what it means for patients and families to receive care surrounded by the people they love.
