ARMM provides health-related infra in conflict-affected Maguindanao towns

COTABATO CITY ---The regional government of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) has been providing health and social protection assistance to communities in Maguindanao, the most conflict-affected province in the region, through the construction and enhancement of health facilities.

As of November 2017, over P216 million was allocated for such projects, which are implemented through the ARMM’s Humanitarian and Development Action Plan (HDAP).

The HDAP-ARMM is a project of the Hataman administration that implements various government initiatives in conflict-affected areas of the region.

These initiatives include relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of both horizontal and vertical infrastructures and provision of livelihood programs that will promote peace and help the situation in calamity-affected communities, specifically in 15 towns of Maguindanao.

The projects include 34 Barangay Health Stations, with 86.45 percent physical accomplishment, constructed in the different towns in Maguindanao namely:  Barangay Poblacion II, Tapikan and Satan in Shariif Aguak; Barangay Ganta, Pusao, and Linantangan in Shariff Saydona Mustapha; Barangay Talisawa and Sugadol in Datu Abdullah Sangki;
Barangay Tambunan and South Binangga in Talayan; Barangay Kabingi in Datu Saudi Ampatuan; Barangay Bakat in Rajah Buayan; Barangay LabuLabu II and Tuayan in Datu Hoffer; Barangay Lusay and Pidsandawan in Mamasapano; Barangay Tanuel , Lower Capiton, Ambolodto, and Sibuto in Datu Odin Sinsuat;

Barangay Midtimbang, Tulunan, and Muslim in Datu Anggal Midtimbang; Barangay Mileb, Macadayon, and Pageda in Talitay; Barangay Malangug and Kyamko in Datu Unsay; Barangay Butilanin, Pandi, Andavit, and Pindetan in Datu Salibo; Barangay Damabalas in Datu Piang; and Barangay Macasampen in Guindulungan. 

Meanwhile, three Rural Health Units (RHUs) were expanded in the municipalities of Mamasapano, Talitay, and Datu Piang, while the RHUs in Talayan and DatuSalibo are yet to be constructed.

Fifteen deep wells with elevated water tanks worth P7.5 million and 15 communal toilets worth P3.75 million were also constructed in the municipalities of Rajah Buayan, Datu Abdullah Sangki, Datu Anggal Midtimbang, Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Datu Hoffer, Sharrif Aguak, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Talitay, Shariff Saydona, Guindulungan, DatuPiang, and Mamasapano.

On April 21, 2017, a ceremonial groundbreaking was conducted for the construction of the Maguindanao Provincial Hospital –DatuPiang Annex, which has a 25-bed capacity and would be worth over P46 million. As of November 2017, the project has 38.86 percent physical accomplishment.

The provision of support package equipment for the hospital is still under bidding, while the personnel salary for operations will be covered by a memorandum of agreement upon the completion of the hospital building.

The HDAP-ARMM aims at establishing a well-coordinated and systematic approach to address and mitigate effects of disasters and calamities. It also aims at addressing the needs and at providing immediate interventions to families affected by violent encounters between the military and the rebels.

To ensure that the projects are properly implemented, the HDAP-ARMM’s Project Management Office is strictly supervising and monitoring these projects.(BUREAU OF PUBLIC INFORMATION – ARMM / MINDANAO EXPOSE’)
