00:00A godsend has just befallen the fortunate ailing kidney patients in Misamis Occidental.

00:05A hemodialysis unit with 31 dialysis machines that can treat up to 93 patients a day is beefed up

00:12by medical staff to provide top-notch treatment and care.

00:16Philippine Information Agency Region 10's Jam Rukat reports.

00:22The new hemodialysis unit at the Misamis Occidental Provincial Hospital

00:27was opened to the public on Friday, October 25, 2024.

00:31The unit has a total of 31 machines and can accommodate an average of 93 patients per day.

00:38It operates from Monday to Saturday, including holidays,

00:41with treatment sessions running from 7am to 11pm, offering four-hour sessions three times a week.

01:24They could have used 4-9 days to treat up to 90 patients in one session.

01:28We are very grateful that the government has sent over the unit.

01:47in order to ensure expert medical care at all times.
