Marly Reyes Bayona

Marly Reyes Bayona is a kidney transplant recipient who has faced significant challenges in accessing necessary immunosuppressive medications due to a severe shortage in the healthcare system. After undergoing transplant surgery seven years ago, she has relied on these medications to prevent organ rejection while also managing type 1 diabetes. Recently, she has publicly protested for her rights, chaining herself to a healthcare facility to demand the medications she desperately needs, highlighting the systemic issues faced by many patients in similar situations.
