COTABATO CITY - Since health is one of the Bangsamoro government's top priorities for its proposed budget for 2023, the Ministry of Health proposed a total of P5.69 billion to help make healthcare services in the region better and more accessible.
The Bangsamoro Parliament’s Committee on Finance, Budget, and Management Sub-Committee B, chaired by Deputy Speaker Atty. Paisalin Tago, scrutinized the ministry’s proposed budget.
A large
chunk of the budget is allotted to COVID-19 response programs, which include
health human resources for isolation facilities; continuous health service
operations for hospitals and public health offices; construction of health
facilities; and acquisition of new health and medical-related equipment.
The MOH
is responsible for formulating, planning, implementing, and coordinating
policies and programs for health. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and
