Department of Health Regional Director, Dr. Paulyn Jean-Rossell Ubial, announced that a P80-million has been allocated this year for the proposed Lung Center of the Davao Medical Center (DMC). However P300-million total will be required to be fully operational.
She said it will complement DMC who already has a Heart Center in place. This is definitely good news as Mindanaon’s will no longer need to go to Manila in order to be treated for Multi Drug Resistant Tuberculosis.
The Lung Center will complement the already existing Heart Center. However Dr. Ubial expressed concerns that the total P300 M requirement to finish the Lung Center would come right away so as a there would be no repeat of the long set up of the Heart Center, which took 5 years to finish.
This will mean access to Cheap Medicines, Cheap Medical Service and Cheap Health Treatment to the People of Mindanao.
