The operation of dialysis machines at the Gov. Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital (GCGMH) has been temporarily suspended due to a preventive maintenance.
According to GCGMH chief physician Dr. Mutya Kismet Macuno, the operation hiatus will be brief and will last for only three days.

GCGMH officials have already coordinated with other hospitals in Tagbilaran City which have dialysis machines requesting these to temporarily cater to the provincial hospital’s patients, said Macuno.
Macuno also assured that financial needs of GCGMH regular patients will be provided for so that the same amount of payments will be billed to them at other hospitals.
