Naglaan ng P620 milyon ang Kongreso para sa government’s cancer control program, ayon kay House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco.


Susuportahan nito ang pagpapatupad ng National Integrated Cancer Control (NICC) Act of 2019 at mga gastusin sa cancer prevention, treatment at mga gamot.


Ayon sa tala ng Department of Health, (DOH) sa 110,000 taun-taon na nagkakaroon ng cancer, halos 66,000 Pinoy ang namamatay.


Nagkakahalaga ng P600 – P3,000 kada sesyon ang breast ultrasound at P20,000 - P120,000 naman ang chemotherapy, batay sa Cancer Coalition Philippines.


“Certainly, the economic burden of cancer care and treatment is overwhelming and it has the potential to drive Filipino families deeper into poverty,” dagdag pa ni Velasco.
