K500+M donated for kidney patients over three years

 

With the public contributions, the Pyinmana Sangha Hospital has provided free medical services on a monthly basis for people who need kidney dialysis and have financial difficulty, and the donation is worth totalling more than K509.6 million over nearly three years, said the hospital’s senior medical superintendent, Dr Than Min Htut.

The donation plan is prioritized for patients with financial difficulty and now it has been two years and nine months, he said on his social media page.

In past two months between July and August 2026, more than K30 million was donated for people who underwent kidney dialysis. These patients can’t urinate due to kidney failure and they need dialysis two times per week or eight times per month, he said.

It costs K900,000 for monthly medical expense alone, excluding expenses for other prescriptions for a patient who has received dialysis, so these public donations are significant support for patients with financial difficulty, he said.
