The Laguna provincial government launched its first chemotherapy center on Wednesday at the Laguna Medical Center (LMC) in Santa Cruz town, improving access to cancer treatment across the province.<\/p>\n
Provincial information officer Danilo Lucas, in a statement, said the center provides free services to qualified patients, emphasizing the government’s commitment to inclusive healthcare.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe newly established facility is expected to ease the burden of patients who previously had to travel outside the province for chemotherapy treatment,\u201d Lucas said.<\/p>\n
Patients also receive a free half cavan of rice to support their daily needs during treatment and recovery, he added.<\/p>\n
To access services, patients must register with the Provincial Health Office (PHO) and secure an appointment with an oncologist for assessment and treatment planning.<\/p>\n
The project resulted from collaboration among the PHO, Laguna Health Team, and We Hope Medical Group.<\/p>\n
During the inauguration, Governor Sol Aragones expressed her joy about the new chemotherapy center.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re happy. Success! The first chemotherapy center we promised in Laguna is now here,\u201d she said. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
