Good Day! I am writing this letter to request financial assistance for my father. He was diagnosed with CKD Stage 5 secondary to diabetes. We were recently discharged from the hospital last May 1, 2023, and our hospital bill was almost 90k plus the medicines. And now I am asking for financial assistance for the continuous treatment of hemodialysis and for his take-home medication. I don't know where to get funds because most of my savings are already spent. I am the only one working and my salary is not enough to support my father's medications. Thank you very much! -Gladys Joy Pilapil

Good afternoon! I went to malasakit center today at Bicol Medical Center to apply for Erythropoietin (dialysis injection). And said they cannot accommodate my application since their priority is the patients confined at the hospital. They asked me to buy those injections inside the pharmacy and they will give me a discount using the PWD ID.
