Assistance is given only to indigent patients (Class D) following evaluation of the Medical Social Services (MSS) evaluation.

The PGH Cancer Institute administration office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm 3. Philippine Senators and CongressmenSenators and congressmen have their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) more known as "pork barrel". In this year's budget, congressmen have been allotted P40 million each and senators, P120 million each for their PDAF. Many of them have set aside a certain amount for their constituents confined at the Philippine General Hospital and other public health institutions. To avail of this, one can go to their offices at the Senate (GSIS Headquarters, Financial center, Roxas Blvd. , Quezon City ) or at the House of Representatives (Constitution Hills, Quezon city ) with a letter of request for financial assistance. The letter must contain the name of the patient, the diagnosis and where he or she is confined. The senator or congressman will then write a letter to the PGH Director instructing him to allot a certain amount for the medical expenses of the patient from his or her PDAF. This covers medicine, room, and laboratory expenses. The patient's representative should submit the letter to the office of the PGH director.
