In the Philippines, women’s health considers a number of facets. In the local setting, while Iloilo is developing into a highly urbanized city, the transition poses a risk for more non-communicable diseases such as cancer for people to develop. Neoplasm or cancer is on the top list which causes women morbidity in the country with breast and cervical cancers as the most common types.
