“This hemodialysis center will cater solely for patients with kidney problems who are tested positive of the coronavirus virus. Dito, ang mga pasyenteng positibo sa Covid virus ay tatangapin at hindi tatanggihan na gaya ng ginagawa ng ibang mga hospital na dala na rin ng takot na magkaroon ng Covid sa kanilang mga pasilidad,” Regional Director Eduardo C. Janairo

The center a total of 20 dialysis stations that will be used and can accommodate around 150 patients a day.

Janairo assured that patients who will undergo dialysis will be have nothing to worry about spending money for their treatment. “Sasagutin ng PhilHealth and gastos at kung may kulang pa ay pupunan ito ng regional office through the medical assistance for indigents program. Kaya walang dahilan upang hindi makapagpagamot ang mga pasyenteng nangangailangan ng dialysis treatment.”He also added that DOH-CALABARZON will be assisting in logistics augmentation when needed including personal protective equipment.|-BNN
