A Ministry of Health notice for eligible dialysis patients

The Ministry of Health is aiming to begin the payout of up to $600,000 in financial support to each hemodialysis patient countrywide from next week, Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony said on Friday.

By way of public notices, the ministry has started registering persons who are eligible for the support which was announced earlier in the year as a budget measure.

A total of $180 million has been budgeted for the assistance programme, which is expected to benefit around 300 persons.
