MAGUINDANAO – Health facilities inside the six recognized camps of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) received medical supplies from the Bangsamoro Government through the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a series of turnover ceremonies.
MOH Minister Dr. Bashary Latiph led the turnover of medical supplies and devices to camps in Maguindanao, which include Camp Rajamuda in General Salipada K. Pendatun and Camp Abubakar in Barira on Thursday, July 29
Camp Badr in Guindulungan and Camp Omar in Datu Hoffer were also given the same medical resources on Wednesday, July 28.
Beneficiaries received personal protective equipment (PPEs), face masks and face shields, alcohol, vitamins, Oresol powder, ointment, weighing scale, thermometer, and hygiene kits.
Latiph said the distribution of medical supplies will augment the available healthcare services in the province especially to the people living inside the MILF camps.
“Ipinaabot natin ang mga medical supplies at devices na ito para matugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayan dito sa mga kampong ito,” he said.
The said MILF camps are set to receive more development projects, which aim to turn these areas into peaceful and productive communities, under the camps transformation component of the normalization process stipulated on the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB).
Meanwhile, similar supplies were earlier turned over to Camp Bushra Somiorang in Lumbayanague, Lanao del Sur, and Camp Bilal in Munai, Lanao del Norte in the last week of June.
Health facilities constructed inside these camps were funded through the Mindanao Trust Fund-Reconstruction and Development Project that were implemented by the Community and Family Services International and Bangsamoro Development Agency.
“Ang tinatawag na camp transformation ay hindi lang camp transformation to a peaceful society, but also a camp transformation to a better health,” Latiph said.
Currently, the MOH and Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process are set to build rural health units inside the camps to better and widen the available health services to the public. (BANGSAMORO INFORMATION OFFICE, MINDANAO EXPOSE’)
