The Civil Service Commission (CSC) and Department of Health (DOH) remind government employees about the benefits and support available under CSC Resolution No. 2400721, Workplace Cancer Control Policy in the Public Sector, and Republic Act (RA) No. 11215, the National Integrated Cancer Control Act.

The policies provide comprehensive cancer control measures, including free cancer risk assessment, prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care in government workplaces. Under RA No. 11215, employees can access affordable and quality cancer treatment, with additional financial assistance through PhilHealth.
