SBS Philippines Corporation and the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS) successfully completed a breast cancer screening program on March 15 and 22, reaching women across multiple neighborhoods with vital early detection services.
The initiative responds to alarming statistics: the Philippines has Asia’s highest breast cancer prevalence and ranks ninth globally with 27,000 new cases reported in 2021, according to Novotech, a leading Asia-Pacific contract research organization.
PCS deployed its Mobile Clinic to provide on-site examinations while medical professionals delivered educational talks emphasizing early detection and regular checkups.
The partnership demonstrates how organizations can collaborate effectively to address critical health concerns. The program broke down healthcare barriers by bringing screenings directly to communities.
SBS Philippines managed program logistics while PCS contributed expertise in cancer awareness and advocacy. The screenings offered participants free access to potentially life-saving medical services they might otherwise forego.
This initiative aligns with SBS Philippines’ commitment to enriching lives and promoting sustainability through community-focused programs and innovative solutions.
SBS Philippines Corporation specializes in importing, wholesaling, and distributing chemical products across diverse industries including food and beverage, industrial and household detergents, animal feeds and agriculture, pharmaceuticals and personal care, construction materials, mining and minerals, and water treatment.
