Four medical facilities, including two private institutions, La Loma Luz and the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital have been contracted to provide the services at approximately two million dollars annually, which the government will cover. A number of renal failure patients will essentially get two free dialysis treatments and would have to pay for the third session, if they so choose.
