00:00The government continues to strive to increase the number of facilities and services in the country focused on cancer care.

00:07This is after the cancer care center in East Avenue Medical Center was opened to the public.

00:13It was led by DOH Secretary Teodoro Herbosa.

00:18Vel Custodio was at the center of the news.

00:22The cancer care center in East Avenue Medical Center was opened to the public.

00:27Priscila has been receiving treatment for ovarian cancer for two years.

00:32Every three weeks, she goes back to EAMC to receive treatment.

00:36So it's a big deal for her to have a facility for cancer care.

00:42It accommodates everyone. It's not as tight as it used to be.

00:46But now, it's better.

00:47Hazel has been fighting stage 4 breast cancer for six years.

00:52She witnessed how EAMC and DOH continue to improve the facilities and services.

00:58In the old tumor clinic, it wasn't this big and spacious.

01:05For so many patients who had chemo, now it's really nice.

01:11The facilities are better.

01:14It really helps us.

01:20The cancer care center has a lot of facilities and services for cancer care.

01:26Now, it offers 200 chairs in the hospital for cancer patients' therapy.

01:33Some of the services are radiation oncology, medical oncology, nuclear medicine, and breast care.

01:39Based on a study in 2023, cancer is the third leading cause of death in the Philippines.

01:45That's why it's a big help to add more facilities and services,

01:49especially that 80% of cancers are now treatable by oncology.

01:53There really needs to be referral centers like this.

01:58If not, even if you're diagnosed with cancer, you won't be able to receive treatment.

02:06Because there's no center to receive treatment.

02:08Cancer management at the community level is part of universal health care.

02:14There are trained barangay health workers and primary facilities.

02:20They will refer to the primary facilities for the first detection.

02:26Then, they will refer to us.

02:28Department of Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa led the inauguration program

02:32where he initiated the Act for HPV Vaccination.

02:37HPV vaccination is an anti-cancer for cervical cancer.

02:42So next year, I can vaccinate all nine years old with HPV.

02:46Dr. Alfonso Nunez, the third of EAMC, is also present at the inauguration.

02:50Dr. Mary Claire Suleiman is the cancer care head.

02:54While sending video messages, Senator Bong Go.

02:57According to Dr. Dean Doroque,

02:59providing facilities for PET scan is the next target of EAMC for cancer patients.

03:06Vel Custodio, for Pagbansang TV in the new Philippines.
