Da Nang supports dialysis patients

DA NANG (VNS)— The Da Nang People's Committee has helped Da Nang General Hospital to continue supporting patients with dialysis by paying part of their hospital fees.

The city also subsidised hospital expenditures for dialysis patients in 2012 with more than VND1.4 billion (US$67,000).

The hospital's director Tran Ngoc Thanh said dialysis patients in central Quang Nam Province and Da Nang City would receive a 5-20 per cent subsidy. — VNS
