Some 200 persons with disability (PWDs) and senior citizens in the province were given free wheelchairs on November 3, 2016.
The distribution, led by Lanao del Sur First District Representative Ansaruddin Adiong and Provincial Governor Soraya Adiong, was held at the Provincial Capitol Compound, Marawi City.
Salma Jayne Tamano, Provincial Information Officer, said additional 400 wheelchairs are set to be distributed by Congressman Adiong and Governor Adiong in far flung municipalities and district hospitals in the province in the coming weeks.
The beneficiaries are initially recommended by the municipal mayors and have undergone assessment by the Provincial HealthOffice.
She said the mobility assistance was requested by Congressman Adiong from the Department of Health Central Office.
Despite its being a separate legislative district, Tamano said Congressman Adiong has also allocated wheelchairs to PWDs and senior citizens from the second district of the province who are needing mobility assistance. (APB/PIA-10)
