CERVICAL CANCER PREVENTION NETWORK OF THE PHILIPPINES
Quarterly Report
January to March 2009
Summary of Noteworthy Achievements
Vaccination in the Single Visit Approach Platform
CECAP recognizes the important role of vaccination in the prevention of cervical cancer. This year, CECAP aims to become more active in providing lecture awareness campaigns on prevention and actual services that does not only constitute screening through VIA linked to treatment, but also cervical cancer vaccination. This is made possible in partnership with Cancer Institute Foundation, Inc. as “CIF for CECAP” is providing vaccination and appropriate counseling for women who would like to take one step further in protecting themselves against this killer disease. This project also serves the purpose of raising funds for the sustainability of the CECAP Coordinating Center.
A partnership with the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Institutional Team has also been established after a workshop which was held in the GSK Office last January 6, 2009. The CECAP Framework was introduced by Dr. Cecilia Llave, Director of CECAP-Philippines as a means to inform the Institutional Team about the advocacy which they will use as they market the vaccines to companies and communities, not just to increase their sales, but as an avenue to attract potential donors to the Program. Dr. Grace Chan outlined the plans for incorporating vaccination into CECAP’s ongoing cervical cancer prevention efforts in the existing sites, and continued corporate vaccination for further financial support not only to the Coordinating Center but to the local sites as well. Future plans for this partnership include conducting intensive workshops to hone a pool of lay lecturers and vaccinators to enable CECAP to handle the many accounts of the GSK Institutional Team.
In celebration of the Women’s Month this March, JG Summit Holdings, Inc., one of the leading companies in the Philippines with multiple business interests such as air transportation, banking, food, manufacturing, telecommunications and print media tied up with CECAP and GlaxoSmithKline in providing a cervical cancer awareness lecture and vaccination to more than 50 women employees last March 12, 2009. This initiative opened more opportunities for CECAP to offer lectures and services to partner companies of JG Summit.
Currently, CECAP has employed another physician, Dr. Marlies Bosch to coordinate vaccination-related projects of the team and she has been working closely with the Dr. Grace Chan, the Head Vaccine Coordinator.

CECAP Takes a Huge Step in Improving the Current Documentation System
This quarter, the CECAP Management Team initiated talks with IT specialists, Mr. Nazareno Chan and Mr. Mark Tolentino to formally obtain their services for website maintenance and to create a cervical cancer prevention database software as a more effective method of data recording and collection in the different CECAP sites all over the Philippines. An agreement was made to initiate design of a program in the CECAP website which will contain client details and would automatically collate quarterly the values for the Program’s indicators of success. The development of this system will ensure that the transfer of data from the CECAP sites and the Coordinating Center will be faster and standardized. When created, the software will be piloted in the Cancer Institute Detection Clinic and subsequent meetings will be set in order to discuss the further improvements for this project.
Planning for the Training of Trainers
In order to ensure close supervision of the many CECAP sites and to strengthen the capacity of the Regional Training Centers, the Management Team, through Dr. Jaycee Almaria, Program Manager, has started planning for the Training of Trainers to be held this year, tentatively on September in Xavier University, Cagayan de Oro City. Priority slots were provided to CECAP-Visayas and Mindanao and CECAP-Cavite and Laguna were likewise invited to participate in this three-part course.
Manuals have been reproduced and the different required materials have been distributed to the chosen participants during the monitoring visits of the CECAP Management Team this quarter. In addition, an orientation regarding the Modified Computerized Assisted Learning or Mod-CAL, the first part of the course has been conducted by Dr. Almaria to guide the participants as they go through the different topics in a computer-based learning module. Progress will be monitored by the Dr. Almaria in the absence of a Training Coordinator. The second part is the 7-day workshop which will be followed by the last phase, a practicum of each participant for which they will be tasked to organize and be a trainer in a Clinical Skills Training Course on the Single Visit Approach within one year after they have underwent the TOT workshop.

of Cagayan de Oro last January 28, 2009 in Xavier University.
This activity will be a joint initiative of the CECAP Coordinating Center, CECAP-Northern Mindanao and Jhpeigo, an Affiliate of Johns Hopkins University. CECAP will be inviting a Master Trainer and Director of Jhpiego’s Cervical Cancer Prevention, Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services, Dr. Enriquito Lu, to conduct the TOT to maintain the high standards of training that Jhpiego has ingrained in CECAP and to continue the legacy of keeping a capable pool of trainers that CECAP is known for.
CECAP Management Team Conducts Supervisory Visits in All Sites
Last January 27, 2009, the CECAP Management Team conducted a site visit in Cebu. In Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC), a meeting with stakeholders took place. CECAP-Minglanilla presented their accomplishments:
1. Attainment of target for Year 2 in just 10 months
3. The highest SVA rate among all sites for Year 2
4. Prompt submission of reports to the Coordinating Center
5. Continued advocacy
6. Sustainability through a 5-Year budget of PhP 200,000.00 for CECAP-Minglanilla and support by a possible budget to further build capacity through training of more health professionals (8 midwives) and barangay health workers (281) starting this year
7. Strong partnership with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of VSMMC
8. Good leadership provided by the Regional Director
CECAP-Visayas Regional Director, Dr. Pañares, who is also the Regional Director of the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS) -Central Visayas Chapter, envisions expanding the CECAP program in nearby provinces, particularly in Bohol. Given that there are already 3 CECAP-trained medical doctors during the last Clinical Skills Training held in UP-PGH, there is a need to empower POGS members to likewise undergo the same training and to adopt a community in order to fully start a CECAP program. It is planned that on the next CST to be held in VSMMC this year, health teams (comprising of a POGS member, municipal health officer/rural health physician and nurse/midwife) from the different provinces of Central Visayas will be encouraged to join. A CME on CECAP and cervical cancer prevention is planned to be held in Bohol, through the efforts of CECAP-Philippines and CECAP-Visayas this year.

A Budding CECAP Site
Last March 19, 2009, the newest CECAP site was inaugurated. Another cervical cancer prevention unit was established in Southern Tagalog as a joint effort of the local health unit, Office of the Mayor and the POGS-Southern Tagalog Chapter through the initiative of Dr. Salvador Luis Villanueva, a gynecologic oncologist and former consultant from the UP-Philippine General Hospital.
Los Baños was chosen as the first CECAP site in Laguna. A comprehensive site assessment was performed by the Municipal Health Officer, Dr. Alvin Isidoro which was in turn evaluated by the Coordinating Center to have the capacity to house a cervical cancer prevention unit.
In order to start building capacity in this potential CECAP Site, Dr. Villanueva and Dr. Isidoro were sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline upon the recommendation of the Coordinating Center to participate in the Clinical Skills Training Course on the Single Visit Approach last November 2008 in the Cancer Institute. Since the training, CECAP-Laguna has achieved the following:
1. 70% completion of the masterlisting of women belonging to the target age group (25 to 45 years)
2. 5-year review of mortality and morbidity due to cervical cancer to obtain baseline data
3. Orientation and advocacy to LCE, SB, PHO, CHD, health personnel, NGOs and support groups
During the Inauguration, the Mayor of Los Baños, Hon. Caesar P. Perez was present to give an inspirational message and to show his full support to this cervical cancer prevention initiative. Dr. Cecilia Llave discussed the nationwide efforts of CECAP-Philippines in combating this killer disease and emphasized the need to provide for every woman’s basic right to life through good health care. Dr. Tito Naval, Regional Director of POGS-Southern Tagalog Chapter proudly announced that CECAP-Los Baños will be provided by the organization with a cryotherapy unit worth PhP 215,000.00 to ensure provision of full Single Visit Approach services.
