Inaani na ngayon ng mga Piilipino ang bunga ng ginawang pagpapatayo ni dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Sr., ng National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI).
Pahayag ito ni Pang. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. matapos dumalo sa ika-40 taong anibersaryo ng NKTI.
Sinabi ni PBBM na mula nang mag-umpisa ang operasyon ng pasilidad ay naging world-class specialized institution na ito.
“He and his administration saw the importance of building an institution that is dedicated to renal healthcare and management, as well as the necessity of having a lead center for renal care and organ transplantation,” pahayag ng Pangulong Marcos.
Ang NKTI aniya ay bunga ng mga itinanim ng dating administrasyon ng kanyang ama.
“Now, we are reaping the fruits of their foresight and investments in our fight to uplift the conditions of Filipinos with kidney-related diseases,” ani PBBM.
Dahil dito, hinimok ng Presidente ang NKTI na ipagpatuloy lamang ang pagiging ‘catalysts’ para sa universal healthcare.
“I ask your institution to continue being catalysts for universal healthcare by innovative solutions that decrease our country’s mortality rate in kidney diseases,” giit ng Pangulo.
“Let me also take this time to convey my gratitude to our hardworking doctors, nurses, and the personnel of the NKTI for your dedication, your competence, your expertise in providing quality renal care and alleviating the suffering of Filipinos with kidney disease.”
Nangako naman ng buong suporta si PBBM sa mga pangangailangan ng NKTI para sa pagsusulong at pag-unlad ng healthcare facility.
“We owe you a debt that cannot be repaid, and we will see to it that your institution gets all the help that is necessary for its advancement and its progress,” sabi ni Pangulong Marcos.
