KIDNEY TRANSPLANT and PHILHEALTH SUBSIDY.
AP, a 48 year old male, 3 years on hemodialysis.
😊🙏
He found a suitable kidney donor, his nephew. Because they’re related and matched, he availed of the Z benefit PHILHEALTH package of PHP600K.
💊💉🩸
He will also avail of the after kidney transplant package for immunosuppressive meds to prevent rejection of PHP40K a month and PHP18K every 3 months worth of labs and drug level monitoring, for life.
(PhilHealth offers an enhanced Z Benefits Package that provides lifetime financial support for patients after a kidney transplant. It specifically covers costs for immunosuppressive medications (medicines to prevent organ rejection), routine laboratory tests, and follow-up care to ensure long-term health.)

Hemodialysis cannot 😵 replace kidney function like a real kidney in transplantation❤️

Hemodialysis only removes 10-30% of uremic toxins…

Kidney transplant restores kidney function by 💯%.

The kidney donor is not left behind. Philhealth also covers for the donor’s regular labs for monitoring.
