Dear eFOI User,

Good day!

Thank you for your request dated Dec. 1, 2024, made under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. We responded to you via email last Dec. 26, 2024 as we were having problems accessing the FOI portal.

We provided you with available data from our Cancer & Hematology Division. Note that they were only able to provide readily available outpatient data, breakdown of outpatients from the Top 2 Regions in 2023, and Top 10 provinces with High Cases of Blood Disorder and Solid Tumor Cases. Since they do not have readily available inpatient data as you requested, we provided general admissions data in PCMC from 2020 - 2023.
