Under the leadership of Mayor Lucilo R. Bayron, the City Government of Puerto Princesa continues to prioritize healthcare support through the Hemodialysis Patient Assistance Program, one of the City’s Caring Programs.
Institutionalized in 2022 through Ordinance No. 1133, the program provides qualified patient-beneficiaries with ₱1,000 financial assistance per hemodialysis session, helping cover half of the ₱2,000 treatment cost. Eligible patients may receive up to ₱14,000 per month, significantly easing the financial burden of life-sustaining treatment.
Implemented through the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), this initiative aims to support patients requiring regular dialysis, extend access to essential healthcare, and improve the quality of life for Puerto Princesans facing chronic kidney disease.
