GenPrime Fertility Manila and Healthway Cancer Care Hospital Partner to Support Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients
Partnership helps cancer patients who hope to have children in the future access fertility care before starting treatment
MANILA, September 18, 2026 — GenPrime Fertility Manila has partnered with Healthway Cancer Care Hospital (HCCH), the Philippines’ first comprehensive and dedicated cancer hospital, to give cancer patients greater access to fertility preservation before undergoing treatments that may affect their ability to have children in the future.
HCCH is part of Healthway Medical Network under AC Health, the healthcare arm of Ayala Corporation. The hospital brings cancer specialists and services together to support patients from screening and diagnosis through treatment and care after treatment. Its approach goes beyond treating cancer itself, considering the patient as a whole — including their well-being, quality of life and the future they hope to have after treatment.
GenPrime Fertility Manila, located in Parañaque City, is part of GenPrime Fertility’s global network, with clinics in Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Los Angeles. The Manila clinic provides fertility assessments, fertility preservation and assisted reproductive treatments, including in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI), giving Filipino patients access to fertility care locally while drawing on the practices and expertise shared across the GenPrime network.
The partnership brings together HCCH’s comprehensive approach to cancer care and GenPrime’s expertise in fertility care to address an important consideration for some cancer patients: how treatment today could affect their ability to have a baby in the future.
Through the partnership, HCCH and GenPrime Fertility Manila are bringing cancer and fertility care closer together, so patients do not have to navigate two separate areas of care on their own. Patients who may benefit from fertility preservation can be connected directly with GenPrime’s fertility specialists to understand how their treatment could affect their ability to have children and what options may be available to them.
For patients and their families, this means fewer steps and easier access to the right specialists at a time when timing can be especially important. Conversations about fertility preservation may need to happen before chemotherapy or radiation begins.
“Patients facing cancer already have so much to navigate. They shouldn’t also have to figure out on their own where to go or who to speak to if they hope to have a baby or become parents in the future,” said Dr. Anthony Marc Ancheta, Medical Director of GenPrime Fertility Manila.
“Through our partnership with Healthway Cancer Care Hospital, we can help patients understand their fertility options at the right time, while considering not only the treatment they need today, but also the life and family they may hope to have after treatment.”
Why fertility preservation matters
When someone is diagnosed with cancer, having children in the future may understandably not be the first thing on their mind. The immediate focus is often on treatment and recovery.
However, certain cancer treatments can affect fertility. Some chemotherapy medicines can damage eggs in the ovaries or cells involved in sperm production. Radiation therapy may also affect fertility, particularly when reproductive organs or nearby areas are exposed to radiation. The impact varies depending on factors including the type and dose of treatment, the part of the body being treated, the patient’s age and individual circumstances.
Fertility preservation refers to medical options that may help preserve the possibility of having biological children in the future. Depending on the individual, this may include freezing eggs, sperm or embryos for possible use later.
Not every cancer treatment affects fertility in the same way, and fertility preservation may not be appropriate for every patient. Speaking with a fertility specialist can help patients understand the potential impact of their treatment and make an informed decision about the options available to them.
“When someone is diagnosed with cancer, our immediate priority is to provide them with the best possible care and treatment. But caring for a patient also means looking beyond the cancer itself and considering their quality of life and the future they hope to have,” said Dr. Manuel Roxas, President and CEO of the Healthway Cancer Care Hospital.
“For patients who may want to have children someday, fertility can be an important part of that future. Our partnership with GenPrime Fertility Manila allows us to connect appropriate patients with fertility specialists early, so they have the opportunity to understand their options before treatment begins.”
