Nine health groups dedicated to helping patients and survivors of Leukemia, Lymphoma, and other blood cancers have formed the Blood Cancer Alliance of the Philippines for better awareness and assistance on blood-related illnesses.
The formation of the Blood Cancer Alliance of the Philippines comes after World Lymphoma Awareness Day commemorated last September 15 and at the tail-end of Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
Based on recent health data, 12,000 cases of any blood cancer are diagnosed in the Philippines annually — including 5,000 cases of Lymphoma a year — meaning on average, 33 Filipinos are diagnosed with a blood cancer every day.
The first version of LymphomaQR tool went up last September 27, and Lymphoma Philippines plans for the tool to cover other blood-related illnesses which Lymphoma patients are often susceptible to.
