Cancer ranks third as the leading cause of death in the Philippines. It is estimated that for every 1,800 Filipinos, one will develop cancer annually and it is very common among Filipino patients to seek medical advice only when the disease is at advanced or terminal stage.
This topic is also very imported for foreigners/expatriates living in the Philippines.
I was surprised and happy being informed, that it is with this premise that the Davao Regional Hospital took center stage in developing a 200-million Pesos worth NUCLEAR RADIOTHERAPY CENTER that was inaugurated by no less than the Philippine Secretary of Health, Dr. Enrique T. Ona and paved its way as an additional service to the public already on January 8, 2012.
The first and only government hospital in Mindanao with the state-of-the-art digital medical linear accelerator, Davao Regional Hospital's Nuclear & Radiotherapy Center provides the most comprehensive services and affordable treatment for cancer patients not only in the region but in whole Mindanao.

One more thing: kidney transplant. The Davao Regional Hospital in Apokon, Tagum City, Davao del Norte as a DOH (Department of Health)-retained Tertiary Teaching Hospital has provided a comprehensive, accessible and quality kidney transplant service to the people in Davao and whole Mindanao since 2002 already. In the 5-year Kidney transplant census (2007-2011) of the Philippine Renal Disease Registry, Davao Regional Hospital is the NUMBER 1 TOP PERFORMING TRANSPLANT CENTER OUTSIDE METRO MANILA and on Rank 8 out of 32 transplant centers in the Philippines.
The Kidney Transplant Program is powered by a dedicated team of experts headed by Dr. Romulo A. Busuego with telephone-numbers 084 - 4005323 or 0908 - 5803585 or 0933 - 9426431 or email drh_tagum@yahoo.com.
