On March 11, 2026, the signing ceremony of the friendly cooperation agreement between Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou and FOOKING MERCHANT BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION, INC. was held in Manila, Philippines. Mr. He Langbing, Vice President and Director of the International Affairs Department of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, and Mr. Wen Yiming, President of FOOKING MERCHANT BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION, INC., signed the cooperation agreement on behalf of their respective organizations, jointly witnessing this significant moment.

This signing officially marks the beginning of cooperation between the two parties in the medical and health field. Against the backdrop of challenges faced by some cancer patients in the Philippines, including limited access to high-quality medical resources and a relatively high rate of late-stage diagnosis, this partnership is expected to open new pathways to more treatment options for local patients. In the future, both sides will engage in in-depth cooperation in areas such as cross-border medical services, health science popularization, and patient support, jointly exploring new models of international medical collaboration.

Connecting Overseas Chinese Strength: Chambers of Commerce Build a Bridge for China-Philippines Medical Cooperation

FOOKING MERCHANT BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION, INC. is one of the long-standing and widely influential major overseas Chinese community organizations in the Philippines. Over the years, it has played an active role in promoting China-Philippines economic and trade exchanges, serving the Filipino-Chinese community, and advancing social welfare initiatives. It has also consistently shown concern for the development of local medical and health undertakings.

As the demand for high-quality medical resources continues to grow in the Philippines and surrounding regions, establishing this partnership with Guangzhou Modern Cancer Hospital represents a key initiative by the Association to facilitate the exchange of medical resources and serve the health needs of the Filipino-Chinese community. Together, the two parties will build a vital bridge connecting China's advanced medical resources with the needs of patients in the Philippines, offering more local Chinese families and community members greater medical options and hope in the face of cancer.

In the future, both parties will focus on promoting a number of practical cooperation initiatives, including: establishing a green channel referral system for Filipino patients, providing bilingual coordination services in Chinese and Filipino; regularly organizing cancer prevention and health education activities for the local Chinese community; and integrating multidisciplinary expert resources to provide specialized consultation support for high-incidence cancers in the Philippines, such as lung cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer, helping patients obtain more systematic and precise comprehensive treatment plans.

*Surgery, in addition to the appropriate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are effective in treating early cancer, but certain patients in late stage of cancer may not be tolerate surgery well as they can be relatively weak. A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
