The EPCALM Foundation, in its continuing partnership with GetMEDS Philippines Inc., has once again successfully distributed free chemotherapy drugs to its serviced patients battling leukemia. 

The ongoing collaboration between EPCALM and GetMEDS recognizes their shared commitment to compassionate care, advocacy, and improved access to life-saving medications.

Both EPCALM and GetMEDS work toward strengthening patient-centered support programs and medicine accessibility for the underserved.  EPCALM, as the primary beneficiary, leads the implementation and direction of this collaborative undertaking. 

This continued support plays a vital role in helping them manage their treatment and daily medical needs. Among the EPCALM serviced patients who received their donated GetMEDS oral chemotherapy medications were Norman Balitayo, Joanaliz Jaime, Edrelino Garcia, Renelle Avi Cabrieto, Maribel Siboy, and John Lerick Otazu..

EPCALM extends its deepest gratitude to GetMEDS Philippines for generously providing these essential medications. This invaluable support significantly helps reduce patients’ out-of-pocket expenses, and ensures sustained access to care. (By Sr. Minerva F. Jumawid)
