MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur (PIA)--The Bangsamoro government assured its full support to Marawi City in addressing the health care needs of its residents.
The commitment was relayed by Ministry of Health Finance and Administrative Director Laxaman Bangcola during the inauguration and turned over of various health facilities in seven barangays of the city Wednesday, November 23.
He said the completion of health facilities under the Marawi Recovery, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program, of which the Bangsamoro government's Ministry of Health is the implementing agency, is a manifestation of the full support of the Bangsamoro government.
The newly-turned over facilities consisted of five Barangay Health Stations (BHS) in Malimono, Rorogagus Proper, Buadi Itowa, Caniogan Papandayan, and Pantaon, as well as two Rural Health Units (RHUs) in Barangays Kilala and Papandayan.
Bangcola also said the BARMM has allocated P6 million every year for the City Health Office's MOOE and other health programs.
He further disclosed that soon the city's health manpower will be augmented with the approval of the additional budget for the hiring of more health personnel in BARMM.
With the assistance poured by the Bangsamoro government, Bangcola hopes the Marawi citizenry would reciprocate this by taking good care of the health facilities.
He emphasized that the provision of health services cannot be shouldered by the national and regional government alone as it would also need the help of the city government, barangay local government units, and the residents themselves. (APB/PIA-10/Lanao del Sur)
