Your Request
You asked for Number of Cancer Cases in Northern Samar.
Response to Request
Your FOI request is approved.
Please be informed that the report provided constitutes the available data on cancer. It seems that cancer instances are not documented in our FHSIS records until they are officially recognized as the cause of death. This discrepancy arises due to individuals with cancer not seeking consultation at RHUs, resulting in the absence of recorded data on morbidities. We recommend obtaining information directly from hospital records to ensure a more comprehensive and responsive dataset.

Thank you
