COTABATO CITY – Some members of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority Parliament sponsored a bill that seeks to upgrade the Buluan district hospital's facilities and professional health care services by increasing its bed capacity from 75 to 200.

Under the proposed Parliament Bill No. 92, the construction and upgrading of the hospital facilities would be under the direct supervision and control of the Ministry of Health of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MOH-BARMM).
The MOH-BARMM would incorporate the proposed bill’s initial implementation in the ministry's 2021 programs, as stated in the bill.
Buluan District Hospital is one of Maguindanao province's eight government-operated hospitals.
