The construction activities will start in April this year and are projected to continue for the next 18 months. “We have also trained the staff at the dialysis centers of the Cebu Provincial Hospitals which shall make renal care more accessible to patients in the Province soon.

Abellana has been a dialysis patient for more than 2 years already. For every session, they are charged by the hospital an amount of more than P3,000. Dr. Agnes Realiza, head of the City Health Office in Lapu-Lapu, confirmed that the city had around 27 dialysis patients in VSMMC that would be affected by the construction of the hospital’s new Renal and Transplant Center.
