Cancer is the second leading cause of death nationwide, with 58,656 recorded deaths in 2025.
Despite the passage of the National Integrated Cancer Control Act (NICCA), many patients continue to struggle with late diagnosis, limited access to specialized care, and high out-of-pocket expenses. Standard chemotherapy cycles can cost upwards of 120,000 pesos, often forcing families into debt or treatment abandonment.
Despite the increasing number of cases, the majority has limited access to standalone cancer treatment facilities, forcing patients to travel to Metro Manila for specialized and government subsidized 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.
Health advocates emphasize the urgent need for expanded cancer care infrastructure in Cavite, 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.
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 through strong partnerships with LGUs, the National Government, and communities.
We Hope Medical Group is preparing to open its Bacoor Chemotherapy Center this September, a landmark initiative aimed at expanding access to life-saving free cancer treatment for residents.
The center is designed to provide free chemotherapy sessions, medical consultations, and patient support services for Bacoor residents diagnosed with cancer. The facility is currently undergoing final compliance requirements, staff training, and safety checks.
Once operational, it will offer:
● Free chemotherapy sessions for eligible residents
● On-site oncologists and specialized nurses
● Patient navigation and counseling services
The center is located at Blk 27 Lot 16, M. Alvarez Ave., Green Valley Subdivision, Bo. San Nicolas III, Bacoor, Cavite, in front of McDonald’s San Nicolas.
It is established to provide a safe, compassionate, and patient-centered environment, staffed by licensed oncology doctors and equipped with modern treatment facilities.
“Bacoor Chemotherapy Center represents our commitment to uplifting communities through accessible and free dignified healthcare. By opening soon in Bacoor City, we are strengthening our promise to deliver medical services that empower patients and support healthier futures for our Kababayans.”
Dr. John Paul Aclan, DBA, Chairman and CEO, is a visionary entrepreneur who builds different health service verticals for LGUs, which include Chemotherapy Centers, Eye Centers, Autism Therapy Centers, Dialysis, Laboratory, and Diagnostics.
Through his pioneering efforts, the organization has opened state-of-the-art treatment centers in Metro Manila, Luzon, Mindanao, and soon in Visayas.
We Hope Medical Group’s expansion strategy focuses on high-need regions, ensuring that underserved communities, especially in provincial and rural areas, gain access to quality treatment without financial burden.
