The DOH will start listing potential organ donors in the Cordillera to support the first liver transplant and treatment services center being developed in the region, a health official said. /PDI
BGHMC is the designated apex hospital in the region under the universal health-care system. Special services like pretransplant surgery and postsurgery care would expand its capabilities to treat most ailments and traumas that local hospitals are unable to handle, Magpantay said.

We should explain why that is important in the Cordillera.” Liver surgeries were done on 49 children at Taiwan’s Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from 2001 to 2018, she said.Philippine hospitals have been conducting liver transplants since 1988 but the cost has been prohibitive, she said.
