Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) -

Hospitals offering stem cell therapy have until Aug. 31 to seek or renew their accreditation from the Department of Health (DOH), a Philippine official said Friday.

"For the information of the public, the DOH is accrediting hospitals for this kind of treatment, and come Aug. 31, these hospitals should file their accreditation requirements (with DOH) for them to continue to offer this treatment," said deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte.

The government is eyeing stricter regulation of hospitals offering stem cell therapy amid speculations that the recent deaths of three politicians were due to the xenogenic (animal-based stem cell) treatment they had received in Germany last year.

Dr. Leo Olarte, president of the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) and spokesperson of the Philippine Society for Stem Cell Medicine, said the groups were still trying to determine whether the politicians had died due to their illness or due to hypersensitivity reaction from the xenogenic stem cells.

Last week, the PMA also warned of a possible scam involving German doctors coming over to perform stem cell therapy on patients in five-star hotels at around 1 million pesos (US$23,000) per shot.

Valte echoed a similar warning from the DOH against doctors offering the procedure in their clinics, saying that "hospitals, not (individual) doctors, nor stand-alone clinics, are the ones being accredited."

Not a 'cure all'

The Palace official also cautioned the public against claims that stem cell therapy was a "cure all" (for diseases).

"There is no treatment that will cure all of your ills. Much less your love problems," Valte said.

MANILA, PhilippinesDont focus too much on youthful looks.

Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo gave this advice on Tuesday as he urged the faithful to use stem cell therapy only for medical purposes.

Its not that we dont want it but (stem cell theraphy) is for curing the sick. (Having youthful looks) is just a side effect. (The therapy) wasnt invented for that, Pabillo said in a Church forum in Manila.

He said the advent of stem cell therapy should also lead the faithful to strive for a more fruitful and meaningful life.

The problem is people dont want to die so they want to extend their life. But when they were young, they did not use the time given to them wisely. We see a lot of people wasting their time, Pabillo said.

And when they grow up, they want to live longer. I hope people, while they are young, would use the blessings they receive so that when the time comes to leave, they can say that their mission is finished, he added.
