According to Jabson, the launch of the center brings TMC-Clark a step closer to the completion of its comprehensive cancer program.
“This is just one innovative way to serve our patient partners and show that TMC-Clark cares beyond boundaries especially in the cancer care area,” said Jabson.
“Tonight’s launching is a testament to TMC-Clark’s resilience and persistence going beyond and above the challenges posed by the pandemic. Its establishment is a greater push towards the fight against cancer and other various diseases,” said Cruz during his speech.
“The hospital has equipped itself with a wider array of diagnostic and treatment capabilities using nuclear energy all for the benefit of our patients within and even outside the region,” he furthered.
