The Tarlac Chemotherapy Center, a subsidiary of We Hope Medical Group, has officially opened to the public, providing free chemotherapy services to cancer patients in Tarlac City.
According to We Hope Medical Group Chairman and CEO Dr. John Paul Aclan, the facility is the 93rd free chemotherapy center established by the group as part of its commitment to providing quality care for cancer patients. He added that We Hope Medical Group has also opened similar centers across the country, including in the Visayas and Mindanao.
Dr. Aclan explained that patients only need to be registered members of PhilHealth to avail themselves of the free chemotherapy services. He added that the group is also willing to assist patients who are not yet PhilHealth members so they can enroll and gain access to the program.
In his message, Atty. Jethro Sabariaga, partner of the Tarlac Chemotherapy Center, expressed his gratitude to the local government for its support and willingness to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) aimed at ensuring that cancer patients in the province receive the medical care they need.
Meanwhile, Rep. Richelle Antonio Singson of the Ako Ilocano Ako Party-list also thanked the management of the Tarlac Chemotherapy Center and We Hope Medical Group for their advocacy and commitment to helping cancer patients.
Sta. Ignacia, Tarlac Mayor Bong Tan and Councilor Hon. Indo Antonio likewise conveyed their appreciation for the opening of the center. Mayor Tan said the facility would greatly benefit local residents by reducing the time and expense of transporting cancer patients to hospitals and medical centers in other cities. Instead, patients can now receive treatment at the Tarlac Chemotherapy Center.
Also present during the opening were Concepcion, Tarlac Mayor Noel Villanueva, Mayor Iluminado Pobre Jr. of Mayantoc, Tarlac, Paniqui Mayor Kathleen C. Roxas, Mayor Gian Pierre de Dios of Anao, Tarlac, Moncada Councilor Janius Yasay, Ms. Nelin Tacasa, Municipal Health Officer of Victoria, Tarlac, Kathreen Stephanie Luz MICU, Medical Officer III of Victoria, Tarlac, and Via Joel Cabactulan
