Ayala takes over Cebu Velez General Hospital
Our Lady of Peace Hospital (OLPH) in Parañaque has received a new hemodialysis machine donated by former Deputy House Speaker Michael "Mikee" Romero and the World Surgical Foundation Philippines (WSFP).
The donation aims to provide crucial treatment for indigent patients needing dialysis, a service that will be offered under a no-balance-billing policy at OLPH's new Hemodialysis Center for the Poor.
This initiative addresses the increasing number of dialysis patients in the Philippines, with the National Kidney and Transplant Institute reporting a 22 percent rise between 2023 and 2024, and a concerning increase in younger patients.
Romero has previously provided medical assistance to hospitals in Tawi-Tawi, further demonstrating his commitment to improving healthcare access in underserved areas.
The OLPH, founded by surgeon-nun Sister Eva Maamo, is dedicated to serving the marginalized Filipino population, with the new dialysis center being a key part of its mission.
