Bataan Gov. Joet Garcia welcomed Swedish ambassador to the Philippines Anna Ferry and a delegation of Swedish businessmen for their support in enhancing cancer care services in the province.
Discussions focused on using modern technology for early cancer detection and treatment, mobile diagnostic services, and training programs for healthcare workers at Bataan General Hospital and Medical Center and the BGHMC Urgent Care and Ambulatory Services (BUCAS) Center in Pilar.
Garcia wants to bring services like mammography and X-ray closer to communities through mobile diagnostic units.
He said it will help patients avoid long trips for initial check-ups and follow-up appointments.
