Manulife Philippines and Manulife China Bank Life Partner with AC Health to Advance Cancer Prevention Care for Filipino Families

MANILA, Philippines – Manulife Philippines and Manulife China Bank Life proudly announce their partnership with AC Health, a leading integrated healthcare network in the Philippines committed to providing accessible, affordable, and quality care through its clinics, hospitals, retail pharmacies, and pharmaceutical distribution arms. The partnership, which aims to educate Filipinos on cancer prevention and help improve access to comprehensive cancer care, combines Manulife’s ambition to become the most trusted partner for health, wealth, and longevity for our customers with AC Health's expertise in cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship.

"At Manulife, we believe that prevention and early detection are essential to helping Filipinos live healthier and better lives," said Rahul Hora, President and Chief Executive Officer, Manulife Philippines. "Our Asia Care Survey found that cancer remains one of the most feared diseases among Filipinos. This partnership with AC Health, which will provide cancer awareness, diagnosis and preventive programs, easier access to referral and care pathways, allows us to provide our customers with meaningful access to trusted cancer care."

Through ManulifeMOVE, Manulife Philippines’ flagship holistic health program, customers will have access to cancer awareness programs and defined care pathways for cancer prevention and management offered by AC Health's Healthway Cancer Care Hospital (HCCH). Customers can access information on ManulifeMOVE for a full spectrum of cancer care programs delivered by HCCH, from early detection and prevention services to Cancer Concierge support, case management, treatment planning, and second opinion consultations.  They can also secure discounted screening packages nationwide, including FIT tests for colon cancer and screenings for cervical, lung, and breast cancer.

"AC Health is committed to making world-class cancer care accessible to more Filipinos," said Paolo Borromeo, President and Chief Executive Officer, AC Health. "Through the Healthway Cancer Care Hospital and our nationwide network of hospitals and clinics, we continue to provide comprehensive, patient-focused support. This partnership with Manulife enables us to reach even more Filipino families, empowering them to take charge of their health through early detection and high-quality care.”

"This collaboration with AC Health will enable us at MCBL to bring cancer awareness, preventive screening, and access to care closer to our customers from China Bank and China Bank Savings. Now more than ever, this scale matters," said Amy Gochuico, President and Chief Executive Officer, Manulife China Bank Life. "It allows us to help normalize preventive health conversations across the country, and strengthens our ability to walk alongside our customers—not only when claims are made, but long before—through education, prevention, and guidance."
