TABUK CITY, Kalinga – The provincial government assured the implementation of zero expense for dialysis patients from the province once its contract with a private company shall have been put in place in the future.

Under the proposed agreement with the provincial government headed by Gov. James S. Edduba, St. Mary’s Kidney Care will have its contract extended for 10 years to ensure the continuity and stability in the provision of essential services to kidney patients from the different parts of the province.

Gov. James S. Eddubas said that local governments will benefit from the extended operation of the kidney care center since the share of the province from the center’s operation will be increased from P300 to P400 that will allow the local government to allocate additional resources towards enhancing health care services in the province.

Further, St. May’ Kidney Care Center is mandated to expand its infrastructure by increasing its existing dialysis machines and beds to accommodate more patients undergoing the dialysis treatment considering the increase in the number of dialysis patients from the different parts of the province.

The center will further extend its operating hours to cater to the increasing demand of dialysis treatment aside from providing training sessions for interested nurses from the Kalinga Provincial Hospital.

More importantly, Edduba disclosed that kidney patients seeking kidney care from the center will no longer bear out of pocket expenses, instead they will be referred to the Social Welfare and Development Office for assistance ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their access to vital health care services such as dialysis treatment.

The grant of free health care treatment for bonafide residents of the province was one of the assurances made by the provincial government when there was a change of administration last June 30, 2022.

The governor explained that health care is one of the basic services that the people should enjoy for free from the government that is why the provincial government is doing its best to ensure the realization of the said commitment considering the enormous demand for health care services among the people who have contracted illnesses.

According to Gov. Edduba, the provincial government wants to undertake an in depth study on why there is a significant increase in kidney patients from the different parts of the province to be able to ascertain the cause so that appropriate strategies and interventions could be crafted to address the root cause of the kidney ailment being contracted by the people.

He revealed that granting zero expense for the dialysis patients will definitely provide a sigh of relief to them and their families because they will no longer be burdened by the expenses that they will incur when undergoing their regular treatment as the same ranges from P2,200 to P3,300 per session multiplied by the number of sessions that an individual must be treated for a week or for a month.

    Dialysis should be obsolete by now. In February, 1994 I used high dose quinapril in a kidney patient in St Louis, Missouri. In March, I saw his creatinine go down, i.e. his kidneys improve. I’d been taught this could never happen because the kidneys were scarred. I published my first thousand patients’ outcomes in 2002 (1). But nobody in healthcare paid attention. Dialysis brings in USD $200 billion a year. So far, about 20 million people have died prematurely from kidney failure simply out of ignorance. Anyone interested in avoiding dialysis is welcome to contact GenoMed.com, my NextGen Disease Management company. Could you help me spread the news? Tell your friends and family. There’s no point finding a cure if nobody hears about it for going on 30 years.
