Oaminal thanked MHARS-MC led by Dr. Jesus Martin S. Sanciangco III for the strong partnership in delivering best services for Ozamiznons.

In response to the increasing number of patients in need of dialysis, the city partnered with MHARS-MC. Last year, LGU-Ozamiz also donated P8 million to purchase more dialysis machines.

Oaminal also personally handed over the P10 million cash assistance to be used to pay for COVID-19 expenses of MHARS-MC.

For his part, Sanciangco said the hemodialysis department can now serve and accommodate at least 62 dialysis patients per day.

The MHARS-MC Hemodialysis Department currently has 28 dialysis machines where they can serve 62 patients for free every day.
