IMUS CITY, Cavite (PIA) – More Caviteños will have access to free chemotherapy treatment, following the inauguration of the Imus Chemotherapy Center at the Ospital ng Imus on Monday, October 22.
In partnership with Dr. John Paul Aclan of the Aclan Group, this initiative of the City Government aimed to help PhilHealth members who are battling cancer gain access to free treatment.
During the inauguration ceremony, Mayor Alex Advincula thanked the Aclan Group, adding that the facility will help significantly ease the financial burden for his kababayans who are seeking cancer treatment.
“Chemotherapy is very expensive—one session can cost around ₱100,000, and many patients require up to nine sessions. For those who cannot afford treatment, this center provides a real solution.”
Advincula noted that they have started accepting patients even before the Chemotherapy Center formally opened. The local chief executive added that 676 PhilHealth members have already been approved to receive free treatment in the coming months.
Able to accommodate up to 20 patients simultaneously, the Imus Chemotherapy Center promises timely treatment for those in need. (Ruel Francisco – PIA Cavite)
