Our organization aims to inform, educate and campaign to increase knowledge and awareness of both medical practitioners and general public about the common hematologic disorders.
Digital platforms are critical to sustain engagement with colleagues in the medical fields, as well as friends, supporters and the general public as we continue to face the threats of Covid-19.
As medical professionals, we commit to promote safe and adequate blood supply, and ensure rational blood use.
I hope you will join us in strengthening our efforts to reduce cases of common and preventable hematologic diseases among Filipinos.
With increased knowledge and awareness of these diseases, I believe we can work together to promote measures that will reduce occurrences of environmentally associated hematologic disorders.
Through this platform, our organization also seeks to establish adequate number of accredited training institutions to run clinical, and laboratory hematology that adhere to excellent global standards.
To our esteemed members, let us continue to engage in advancing our professional knowledge and practice so we can provide excellent medical care to our patients.
I hope this page will strengthen partnerships with various government agencies, non-government organizations as well as private organizations in the realization of our common goals and vision to promote effective measures on prevention and treatment of hematologic disorders. May we all stay safe, healthy and full of optimism.
