The Philippines.- The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has donated PHP90m (US$1.5m) to the new Pampanga Provincial Dialysis Center I <\/strong>to procure 40 dialysis machines and a CT scan unit<\/strong>. The centre is expected to serve thousands of patients who would otherwise need to travel long distances or incur big expenses for dialysis sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the inauguration, PAGCOR chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco<\/strong> said: “We know how expensive and exhausting dialysis treatment can be \u2013 not just financially but physically, mentally and emotionally, that’s why having such facility in the province is very important.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tengco also praised the medical staff, calling them the “nation’s true heroes”. He added: “This is what nation-building looks like\u2014projects that directly touch lives and strengthen communities.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Pampanga governor Dennis Pineda<\/strong> said: “We will make sure that all the poor Kapampangans who seek treatment here will not have to spend any money, not even a single centavo. That’s why we are very grateful to all the government agencies that are our partners in making this happen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pampanga Provincial Dialysis Center I was developed under a public-private partnership. In addition to dialysis services, it also offers nutritional counseling, social work support, and patient education.<\/p>\n\n\n
