Emer Rojas, president of New Vois Association of the Philippines; Melissa Ongsue, VP of sales and marketing, Hi-Precision Diagnostics; Dr. Herdee Gloria Luna, president of the Philippine Society of Oncologists; Dr. Jose Jasper Andal, pathologist, St. Luke’s Medical Center; Vannessa Ongsue, VP for medical services, HPD; and host Nina Corpuz

“Access to precision medicine may lead to better patient outcomes, helping avoid ineffective interventions and hefty healthcare costs,” explains Dr. Luna.
