Women’s health takes centerstage at The Medical City Iloilo as the hospital’s Women’s Health Center was formally launched recently to cater the needs of women in Iloilo and in neighboring provinces.
TMC Iloilo’s Women’s Health Center primarily aims to empower women not only in their crafts, but also in their health, acknowledging the important role they play in the society. In the Philippines, women’s health considers a number of facets. In the local setting, while Iloilo is developing into a highly urbanized city, the transition poses a risk for more non-communicable diseases such as cancer for people to develop. Neoplasm or cancer is on the top list which causes women morbidity in the country with breast and cervical cancers as the most common types.
Dr. Felix Ray Villa, TMC Iloilo Chief Executive Officer together with Dr. Razel Colacion, TMC Iloilo Women’s Health Center Champion and Dr. Ma. Sancha Pauline Apolto-Garcia, TMC Ioilo Physician Engagement and Development Unit Head, led the ceremonial “Shower of Petals” to signify the official commencement of providing the patient partners another quality healthcare service especially dedicated to women.
It was during the event that the services were presented by the center’s head, Dr. Razel Colacion. Among the services being offered at TMC Iloilo Women’s Health Center include Breast and Reproductive, and Sexual Health needs from screening, consultation, treatment and palliative care provided by a team of expert specialists composed of OB-GYNE consultants and Sonologists, Breast Specialist, and oncologists with competent staff.
