Dialysis center in Apalit.
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – “Ang pangarap po ni Nanay para sa mga Capampangan ay nagkatotoo na.”
So, spoke Gov. Dennis “Delta” Pineda as he announced Wednesday in his social media page: “Tapos na po ang dalawang gusali na magiging puesto ng kauna-unahang dialysis centers na mismo ang provincial government ng Pampanga ang magpapatakbo.”
Quality renal care administered by the provincial government had been a long cherished dream for the Capampangans of then-governor now Vice Gov. Lilia G “Nanay” Pineda.
“Ang una po ay nasa Diosdado P. Macapagal Memorial Provincial Hospital sa Barangay San Matias, Guagua. Ang ikalawa po ay sa San Vicente, Apalit,” said the governor of the dialysis centers built by the Department of Public Works and Highways with funding of P30 million each from the AnaKalusugan Partylist.
“Sa pondo po ng Capitol, lalagyan ko po ang mga ito ng sapat na hemodialysis machines at mga medical professionals,” Pineda said. “Pangako ko po sa inyo, quality renal care ang ibibigay ng dialysis centers natin. Prayoridad po natin ang mga pinakamahirap na pasyente.”
The dialysis centers are expected to start operation before the end of 2022.
With the first two centers sited in the second district – Guagua, and the fourth district – Apalit, two more of their kind are planned for the first and third districts.
