Tantangan South Cotabato, Philippines – Gena P. Mamon, a resident of Barangay New Iloilo, Tantangan, South Cotabato, expressed her joy and gratitude after receiving free dialysis treatment at the South Cotabato Provincial Hospital.
Mamon, a mother with children and a husband who works as a laborer, shared how difficult her life was before she became a beneficiary of the program initiated by Governor Tamayo. She revealed that her husband’s lack of stable work made it hard to manage the expenses for her dialysis.

Before the program, the cost of hospitalization was a significant burden, but now, her only concern is the cost of transportation, as the dialysis is free of charge.
