P500 Million First Cancer Center In Central Luzon Will Soon Be Opened In Pampanga
The first cancer center in Central Luzon will soon be opened
in San Fernando, Pampanga.
This came as Mother Theresa of Calcutta Medical Center
(MTCMC) and TE Asia Healthcare based in Singapore inked last week a pact for a
P500-million cancer center facility.
TE Asia Healthcare Chief Executive Officer Eng Aik Meng he
said that the first cancer center outside Metro Manila will be opened in two
years in the province which will cater to three stages of cancer treatments.
Meng said the cancer center will offer a combination of
various treatments focused on chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery on
the hospital side.
“Our team aims to provide service and do something for the
community. We also work to keep prices as affordable as possible to cater to
patients who cannot afford treatment fee,” Meng said.
He stressed that they will also focus on renovation works
like investing in cancer and diagnostic state-of-the-art equipment.
For its part, MTCMC Chief Operating Officer Rhais Gamboa
said the international partnership with TE Asia Healthcare can now bring
world-class facilities in Central Luzon, particularly in Pampanga, in their
effort to bring health services in the community.
Gamboa said the partnership will provide additional services
to people, particularly cancer patients in nearby provinces.
MTCMC owner Vilma Caluag welcomed the partnership with TE
Asia Healthcare as a dream come true to provide state-of-the-art services to
cancer patients.
Caluag said patients in the region can now avail
chemotherapy, radio therapy and PET scan at MTCMC once the facility opens
within the next two years.
