TOGON, Benguet—This town’s dialysis center serves as a model for other local government units to emulate in efficient healthcare delivery services in the province.
Itogon Mayor Bernard S. Waclin said numerous local and health officials from various local governments have visited their LGU-operated dialysis center which has gained prominence since it began full operation in August 2023.
“We worked hard to fulfil a promise to our constituents to improve the delivery of health care services, especially the treatment of our dialysis patients who are encountering difficulties in having to line up in the dialysis centers in nearby Baguio City just for them to undergo the said treatment,” Waclin said.
At present, some 60 patients from various barangays of Itogon and nearby towns avail themselves of the dialysis center’s every single day, officials said.
