The San Juan Medical Center (SJMC)now has its own Biological Safety Cabinet. If previously the city’s breast cancer survivors would have to go to private hospitals within the city as regular patients, the LGU can now personalize the treatment and have them do their chemotherapy treatments at the SJMC.
