Considering that most of the patients with kidney diseases are found in Negros Occidental, however, the hemodialysis machines at the Western Visayas Regional Hospital (WVRH) is not enough to serve the 99 hemo patients. Councilor ElCid Familiaran, chair, SP committee on health, resolve to request the Negrense congressmen, to donate hemodialysis machine.
Familiaran said he has also resolved and approved by the SP to request Pres. Benigno Aquino III through the Philhealth president Alexander Padilla to increase the hemodialysis treatment to kidney patients from 45 to 90 sessions under the Philhealth coverage. He is also requesting the Negrense congressmen to donate hemodialysis machines to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital. The present hemodialysis machines at the said hospital are not enough to serve the bulk of kidney patients in Bacolod City and Negros Occidental. Familiaran addressed his request to Congressmen EvelioR. Leonardia-Lone District Representative of Bacolod City; Negros Occidental representatives Julio "Jules" A. Ledesma-1st District; Leo Rafael M. Cuevas-2nd District; Alfredo "Albee" Benitez-3rd District; Jeffrey M. Ferrer-4th District; Alejandro Y. Mirasol-5th District; Mercedes K. Alvarez-6th District; Neri J. Colmenares-Party List Representative of Bayan Muna Party List; Joseph Stephen Paduano-Party List Representative of Abang Lingkod Party List; Gary C. Alejano-Party List Representative of Magdalo Party List; and Roland De la Cruz-Party List Representative of Trade Union Congress of the Philippines(TUCP). Familiaran also said, estimated cost of a hemodialysis machine ranges from P 160,000, P 370,000 to P600,000 (depending on the quality) per supplier in Metro Manila. If each of our Congressman/Congressperson and Party-List Representative, either based in Bacolod City or in the Province of Negros Occidental, through their respective Congressional budget will donate one(1) hemodialysis machine to CLMMRH, then it would be a bold step to really address the situation of kidney illness, thereby, alleviate the plight of our patients in Bacolod City and Negros Occidental, Familiaran likewise said.* Negros Daily Bulletin
