00:23 the organ transplant is expected to be done to heal their life.

00:28 But the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, or NKTI,

00:33 says that organ donors are not enough in the country.

00:36 According to the Department of Health, as of February 2024,

00:41 almost 300 patients are in line for transplant.

01:28 Organ transplant is also expensive.

01:30 It can reach up to 1.2 to 1.7 million pesos, according to the DOH.

01:36 But the government can help lower the cost.

01:49 We will bring them to our Malasakit Center and Social Service to lower their bills.

01:55 In addition to the DOH, they have been distributed cards to expand the public's knowledge about transplant.

02:03 The donor must go through a complete screening.
