Health Committee Oks inquiries on vaccination program, establishment of hospitals

COTABATO CITY - The Bangsamoro Parliament’s Health Committee has approved several proposed resolutions, including measures to conduct inquiries on vaccination programs, and the establishment of hospitals.

Based on the approved resolutions at the committee level, the Committee on Health (COH) will conduct an inquiry on the framework strategy, the implementation of all types of vaccinations, the status of emerging and re-emerging diseases in the region, and the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) overall plan for the establishment of hospitals.

The COH also adopted a resolution directing the MOH to inform and update the Bangsamoro Parliament on the status of community-intended health projects to include facilities, equipment, human resources, extensions or outreach, and training by submitting a report through the Secretary-General.

Committee reports, according to COH Chair Dr. Kadil Sinolinding Jr., will be presented in the plenary when the second regular session resumes.

Meanwhile, the committee also agreed to look into the alleged delayed signing of contracts and release of salaries for human resources in health, including those under the Nurse Development Program, Rural Health Midwives Placement Program, and other nationally funded programs.

The COH also posed an inquiry about the MOH's hiring and promotion of employees. Four special subcommittees were created to look into the several issues and concerns on health programs. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations Division)
