Mayor Celso Lobregat has expressed jubilation over the success of the first ever renal transplantation held at the Western Mindanao Medical Center (WMMC) in this city stressing that it will further boost medical tourism in this part of the country.
Dr. Michael Abutazil, a nephrologist and team leader of the Kidney transplant team, together with the renal patient Rufo Paitan and the his donor Virgilio Solito paid a courtesy visit on Mayor Lobregat at City Hall Thursday afternoon to personally inform the Lobregat about the successful operation.
Paitan, who is a native of Calatunan, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte, thanked the doctors and is recovering fast from the operation held last October 1.
The critical period has already lapsed and Paitan is back to his normal life but his condition will be under observation for the next few months.
Lobregat commended the kidney team composed of Doctors Abutazil, John Ahalajal (transplant surgeon), Jayson Sangkula (transplant surgeon), Paterno Cabrera III (surgeon for the donor), Henry Ratag (surgeon for the patient), Tatad Kalbit (urologist) and Albert Tan and Neil Gallenegro (anaesthesiologists) for the very good job.
