Does Lymphoma Philippines provide financial/medical assistance?
One of our projects at Lymphoma Philippines is providing financial assistance to indigent Filipino Lymphoma patients to assist them on their treatment. The patients that we prioritize are those who have already exhausted government aid — in other words, they’ve already been to agencies such as DSWD, PCSO, Local city hall, and others. Due to our limited funding, we also apologize in advance for the following reasons:
- We have a wait list of beneficiaries who still have not received their financial aid;
- We cannot commit on when we can release the financial aid;
- We have a limit of a maximum of PHP 2,500 for each patient beneficiary.
