Ang National Integrated Cancer Control Act (NICCA) (R.A. 11215) ay naisabatas taong 2019 sa adhikaing palawigin at pagbutihin ang mga serbisyong may kinalaman sa pag-iwas at pagpigil sa pagkakaroon ng kanser. Inaasahan na ang mga serbisyong ito ay mas abot-kamay at abot-kaya ng mamamayang Pilipino, lalo na ng mas nangangailangan nating mga kababayan.

Sa ilalim ng batas na ito ay ang programa ng CSPMAP o mas kilala bilang Cancer Supportive-Palliative Medicines Access Program. Layunin ng programang ito na makapagbigay ng libreng mga gamot katulad ng chemotherapy at targeted therapy sa walong pangunahing uri ng kanser upang mabawasan ang pasan na gastusin ng isang pasyenteng may kanser at umalalay sa pagpapatuloy nito upang matapos ang gamutan. Sa pamamagitan ng CSPMAP Access sites sa iba’t-ibang bahagi ng bansa, lahat ng pasyenteng may kanser ay matutulungang maitaguyod at matapos ang kanilang gamutan.

Ang Philippine Society of Medical Oncology (PSMO) ay kabalikat sa pagsulong at pagpapanatili ng programang ito. Angkop sa adbokasiya ng society ang maagang kaalaman tungkol sa pag-iwas at tamang gamutan sa kanser. Ang mga PSMO members sa buong Pilipinas ay katuwang ninyo sa adhikaing ito.

Alam mo bang maraming cancer patients ang kailangan ng blood transfusion during their treatment? A single transfusion typically requires 3 units of blood, and many patients may need multiple transfusions. While cancer treatments are advancing, the need for blood remains constant. Your donation doesn't just help one person. Your donation supports families fighting cancer together.

Donate blood. 🩸
Share and help raise awareness on how we can help cancer patients.

My grandfather succumbed to cancer when I was in medical school. I have seen how cancer takes the sparkle out of your eyes, how it sucks out the strength from your body, and how it tries to vanquish all the hope that you have left. However, during that difficult time in my grandfather's journey, I have also seen how cancer brings the family and health care team together in comfort and compassion. The human spirit is stronger than we believe as long as we have great love and support. I went to oncology hoping and praying that I can give the adequate holistic care each patient with cancer deserves.

With how dynamic oncology is, cancer should not be considered as a death sentence. There are new medications and treatments to be able to fight this dreadful disease. What motivates me, aside from these advancements, is being able to help the patients navigate this difficult time in their lives. It truly makes a difference. Being able to see my patients-- who either show improvement, get cured, go back to work, or on the other hand even be comfortable, and die with dignity is life changing. Guiding them in their journey and being a good health care partner is what keeps me going.
