The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has donated PHP350 million (US$7.2 million) to the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) for the procurement of a machine used for cancer treatment.
PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Andrea Domingo personally handed the grant to SPMC Executive Secretary Jeffrey Ramiso at PAGCOR’s Executive Office in Malate, Manila. The amount will be utilized to purchase a Linear Accelerator (LINAC) machine, an apparatus used to deliver external beam radiation treatment to cancer patients.
