A free dialysis center for Marikina residents

The Marikina Dialysis Center opened its doors on April 16, 2024, marking the city's 394th founding anniversary. Operated in partnership with TresMedica Trading, the facility houses 22 state-of-the-art dialysis machines on the 4th floor of the Marikina Sports Complex on McDonald's Avenue.

Mayor Marcy Teodoro and Representative Maan Teodoro led the ribbon-cutting alongside the TresMedica clinical team.

What is covered under the No Balance Billing model

The center provides free dialysis to residents, including erythropoietin (EPO), intravenous iron, and single-use dialyzers - the same TresMedica No Balance Billing model extended to LGU-funded patients.

Patients leave each session having paid nothing out of pocket beyond what PhilHealth covers, with medications and lab monitoring included in the treatment rather than added to a separate bill.

Continuity of care and emergency partners

Emergency partnerships with Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center and Marikina Valley Hospital ensure continuity of care for any patient who needs acute escalation.
