Living with dialysis can be a huge burden to many people – more so when financial struggles mean regular treatment isn’t possible. The health of indigent dialysis patients is threatened with each treatment missed. Not knowing how and where to seek financial assistance makes their circumstances doubly challenging.
With B. Braun Cares program, the objective is to loosen up the burden that the patients experience every day by hiring social workers. The team is responsible for bridging the gap to address the medical needs of indigent patients helping process financial assistance from different government institutions such as the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, the Office of the Vice President, and the Office of the President.
