THE Calamba Medical Center (CMC) will celebrate World Cancer Day on Feb. 4 with the launch of an innovative medical program designed to greatly enhance cancer care in the city.
The center will offer free cancer screenings and educational sessions at the Light Industry and Science Park 1 (LISP 1) in Cabuyao, Laguna.
“This initiative is our way of honoring World Cancer Day and advancing our advocacy for wellness. We are providing free Cervical Cancer Screening test called Visual Inspection through Acetic Acid (VIA), breast examinations, and introducing a prostate cancer screening program for men,” according to Dr. Arvin Baes, head of the CMC Cancer Center.
In addition to promoting early detection, the CMC Cancer Center proudly introduces its ground-breaking “No Balance Billing” program.
This initiative empowers patients—regardless of gender—to access vital cancer treatments with absolutely no out-of-pocket expenses, relying solely on their PhilHealth coverage, Baes said.
