Value of your support system
Increase discussions on treatment access
Important role of patient groups
As a firm response to the growing threat and impact of cancer to Filipino patients, a multi-stakeholder gathering was held today in Manila to publicly launch Cancer Game Plan PH – a movement as well as an advocacy that aims to help arm patients with the necessary resources for them to effectively fight the dreaded disease.
Pillars of the advocacy include the promotion of early detection through testing, the building of solid support systems that address patient needs from the onset, as well as increasing access to treatments which oftentimes cannot be availed of due to their financial restrictions.
An expanded plan stemming from last year’s Hope from Within campaign, the Cancer Game Plan PH is geared to systematically change the face of disease care – highlighting existing targeted therapies and breakthrough new treatments – such as immunotherapy – that address a greater body of cancers, effectively helping many patients in their journey to be better.

“For patients, treatment is the stage in the cancer journey that is better battled with the support from loves ones. A number were thankful of the government’s financial aids coursed through the PhilHealth, Philippine Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), and social services from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and Department of Health (DoH).”
