According to the Global Cancer Observatory, lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer in the Philippines. In 2020, lung cancer-related deaths made up 18.4 percent of all cancer-related deaths among Filipinos.

Cigarette and to***co smokers are at greater risk of developing lung cancer more than non-smokers. However, non-smokers are also at risk due to several factors: regular exposure to secondhand smoke, air pollution, and exposure to radon or other hazardous compounds.

Prevention is key to reducing your risk of developing lung cancer. Lifestyle changes, regular exercise, using proper protective equipment when dealing with industrial hazardous compounds, and eliminating smoking are part of conscious efforts you may take in order to increase your likelihood of not developing lung cancer.

The VTMGHI community is one with our fellow Filipinos in advocating for healthier choices and spreading awareness about lung cancer prevention and care.

The possibility of a new drug to ward off the most serious symptoms of Covid-19 is welcome news, but it may come with two important costs.

Breast cancer is the leading site of cancer for women in the Philippines and also globally. According to WHO, approximately 62% of Filipino women are diagnosed at an early stage.

However, the 10-year survival rate among Filipino women with breast cancer is estimated to be only 57%, much lower compared to the survival rate in developed countries.

This is attributed to a lack of awareness and low screening rates (fewer early detection cases), resulting in higher numbers of late-stage cases.

The healthcare community annually dedicates the month of October to spread awareness on breast cancer and to remember our family members and friends lost to the disease.

We firmly believe that early detection is key in preventing further severity of breast cancer cases among Filipino women.

This month, let's help each other spread the word. To our fellow Filipinas, there is nothing to fear. Our Breast Care Center is ready to help you.

HPAAC Statement on NCR’s Shift to a New COVID-19 Alert Level Scheme
September 16, 2021

The IATF declared a new community quarantine scheme to be tested in NCR as a pilot area. It uses a five-point scale from Alert Level 1 (mildest) to Alert Level 5 (the worst situation). Granular lockdowns can be implemented at any point in the alert scale.

In this new system, NCR will be placed on Alert Level 4, which entails lighter quarantine restrictions than MECQ. This comes at a time when we face the worst surge of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines. We now register more cases than at any other time since the pandemic started. Health facilities are overwhelmed, resulting in patients dying unattended at home, in ambulances, or in corridors.

Based on this premise, we are inclined to believe that the proposed scheme, which claims to use pandemic severity and healthcare utilization data in deciding the alert level, does not reflect the true situation on the ground. We therefore strongly urge the government to acknowledge and address the inadequacies of our data reporting system that forms the basis for the alert levels.

We likewise remind the government to refocus on what can prevent future surges - integrated digital contact tracing, increased testing, appropriate compensation and recognition for healthcare workers, distribution of ayuda, enhanced vaccination, better coordination between facilities and government units, and improved air circulation in all facilities. We need these improvements to achieve longer relief from the pandemic.

In light of latest easing of restrictions, we plead for the public to help healthcare workers by limiting our mobility when possible, and tightening protective measures now more than ever.

We believe the country and our economy can survive this pandemic if we work together and listen closely to each other without insulting each other or losing our temper.
