AC Health, through its provider group, the Healthway Medical Network (HMN), reinforces its commitment in providing quality, affordable, and specialized healthcare for Filipinos with Healthway Cancer Care Hospital (HCCH).
Strategically situated in Arca South, Taguig City, just a 20-minute drive from the airport, HCCH provides a comprehensive range of services, including consultations, imaging, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. In its inaugural months, it has already served hundreds of patients, addressing a wide spectrum of cancer cases, from colorectal and breast to lung, and head and neck cancers, catering to patients of all ages.
Elevating the Patient Experience
HCCH prioritizes patient comfort and well-being with superior recovery facilities, including 100 beds and a 12-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The hospital features an integrated outpatient department with a specialized women’s health unit, ensuring comprehensive care. Its advanced cancer imaging center offers leading interventional oncology, radiology, and nuclear medicine procedures, aiding in early cancer detection. The cancer treatment units boast a fully-equipped radiation oncology section with Varian’s latest Linear Accelerator and 18 chemotherapy infusion hubs for administering chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Additionally, the hospital houses four specialized operating theaters, two advanced endoscopy rooms, and other ancillary services to support patient needs.
Commitment to Holistic Cancer Care
The hospital’s Centers of Excellence (COE) program provides comprehensive care for various cancer types, covering the entire spectrum from screening to survivorship focusing on four key areas—breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and head and neck cancer. It also offers specialized cancer programs for pediatric oncology, gynecologic oncology, hematologic oncology, and among others.
Going beyond conventional pain and nutrition management, it distinguishes itself with its groundbreaking Quality of Life (QOL) program—the first of its kind in the country. This holistic initiative addresses all facets of patient well-being, including psychosocial support, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. Seamlessly integrated with the COE program, the QOL initiative ensures that patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs. When necessary, patients can be paired with a dedicated patient navigator, guaranteeing a comforting and supportive experience throughout their journey. By consolidating comprehensive cancer care services under one roof, it not only elevates patient care standards but also eliminates the need for patients to seek treatment overseas or move between different hospitals.
Accessible and Affordable Services for Cancer Patients
With over 188,000 cases diagnosed annually and financial barriers hindering treatment, HCCH strives to offer cost effective rates for cancer screening, diagnostics, and treatment, expanding access to care.
“The Healthway Cancer Care Hospital is an affirmation of our commitment at AC Health to improve cancer services in the country. Our vision is to lead in cancer care, providing world-class treatment at a lower cost, thus extending the best value to a wider base of Filipinos.” shared AC Health President Paolo Borromeo.
Through strategic partnerships with leading players such as Siemens Healthineers, Varian, Roche, AstraZeneca, and MSD, HCCH offers top-notch diagnostics and treatment while ensuring affordability. Additionally, HCCH plans to introduce PhilHealth Z-benefit packages for colorectal and breast cancer soon.
The Ayala Group’s commitment to healthcare remains steadfast through its investment in AC Health, with HCCH serving as the apex cancer hospital within the Healthway Medical Network. As the first end-to-end cancer specialty hospital in the country, HCCH will be a key player in Philippine healthcare, offering specialized cancer solutions through multidisciplinary cancer care and accessible and cost-effective services.
