AC Health has started the construction of its P2-billion Healthway Cancer Care Center, the Philippines’ first dedicated specialty cancer hospital.
“With cancer being the second leading cause of death in the Philippines, the 100-bed Healthway Cancer Care Center is Ayala Group’s response to the Cancer Control Act (RA 11215), which gives the private sector the green light to create cancer specialty hospitals and clinics,” the company said.
Once completed in July 2023, Healthway Cancer Care Center will be the first comprehensive, dedicated cancer hospital in the country, offering a “complete range of cancer services from screening, diagnosis, treatment to post-cancer care,” the company said.
AC Health has partnered with Varian-CTSI, which provides clinical services and solutions to over 100 hospitals, clinics, and physician groups worldwide, in ensuring delivery of affordable yet high standards of cancer care in the country.
