Recent data from the Department of Health reveals a growing incidence of cancer in Bulacan, with breast, lung, and colorectal cancers leading the statistics. Bulacan, part of Region III (Central Luzon), continues to face challenges in providing adequate oncology services to its residents.
Despite the increasing number of cases, Bulacan has limited cancer treatment facilities, forcing patients to travel to Metro Manila for specialized care. This situation places a heavy financial and emotional burden on families, many of whom struggle with the high costs of treatment and long waiting times due to a shortage of oncology specialists.
Health advocates emphasize the urgent need for expanded oncology infrastructure in Bulacan, including more cancer centers, trained specialists, and accessible diagnostic services. Early detection programs and community-based awareness campaigns are also critical to reducing mortality rates. Chemotherapy alone can cost up to ₱120,000 per cycle, with total treatment reaching ₱5 million or more, pushing families into debt, asset liquidation, or treatment abandonment. With thousands of patients delaying or abandoning treatment due to cost, We Hope Medical Group is here to operate specialized medical facilities and programs that make treatments accessible, affordable, and sustainable.
