Cancer Management
The 2024-2028 National Integrated Cancer Control Program (NICCP) Strategic Framework, launched by the Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO), outlines the vision and mission of the National Integrated Cancer Control Council (NICCC). This framework aims to set priorities and strengthen capacities to achieve strategic goals in cancer control. It emphasizes universal health coverage and strong primary health care as key factors in ensuring equitable access to high-quality cancer care.
The framework highlights several key components:
-
Cancer Assistance Fund: Provides financial support for various interventions.
-
Cancer and Supportive-Palliative Medicines Access Program: Offers free medicines for the most common cancers.
-
Cancer Specialty Centers: Identified in the Philippine Health Facility Development Plan to provide comprehensive cancer care.
-
Primary Care Facilities: Focus on prevention, screening, and early detection.
The strategic framework also supports health promotion campaigns such as "KonsulTayo" and "Tara, Love," which educate Filipinos about behaviors that can reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer
