Capitol Medical Center, Inc. (CMCI) highlights its commitment to accessible healthcare in the Philippines as it becomes the 10th facility under PhilHealth's Z Benefit Package for Kidney Transplantation, the 25th nationwide.

The Z Benefit Package for Kidney Transplantation provides financial support to qualified members. This initiative aims to make critical medical interventions more accessible and affordable for PhilHealth members.

Since the 1970s, CMCI has been a leading hospital in the Philippines for kidney transplantation. This significant milestone aligns with its heritage, as one of the first institutions to successfully perform a living donor kidney transplant in the country, as shared by Dr. Angel Joaquin M. Amante, Head of the Organ Transplant Center.

Currently, the institution offers two comprehensive PhilHealth packages to support patients with renal disease: hemodialysis treatment consisting of 156 dialysis sessions per year and the Z Benefit Package, providing patients with world-class kidney transplantation procedures at a reasonable cost.

This journey reflects the tireless efforts of esteemed doctors and nurses. With hard work and dedication, CMCI stands tall as a beacon of high-quality healthcare, true to its commitment of providing the right care, right here.
