MSOpinion 'For cancer patients and their families'
“189 out of every 100,000 Filipinos are stricken with cancer while four Filipinos die of cancer every hour…alarming figures that gave impetus for legislators to unanimously pass the NICCA into law but its implementation is proving to be an even greater challenge as cancer stakeholders are now frustrated with bureaucratic delays”
But an important point of the report is that “Many cancers can be cured if detected early and treated effectively.” The Memorandum Circular has been approved by the DOH but, as of this writing, is still pending with the DBM. Being an active proponent as convenor of CitizenWatch Philippines working with the Cancer Coalition of the Philippines, I know for a fact how we had to push hard and must now once again push on in Congress and respectfully remind our legislators that, as mandated by the NICCA, the CAF should be a permanent line item in the GAA.
