A global IT outage has caused widespread disruption across multiple industries, including significant issues within the health-care sector in B.C.

The province's Ministry of Health confirmed the disruption is impacting its networks and computers.

In a statement, the ministry said it has implemented "contingency plans" to ensure that health-care services remain operational, and patient care is not disrupted "to the best of our ability."

It is urging people to contact their care providers Friday if they have questions about appointments or services.
