Through the B-CARES Program, hundreds of people in the region are able to access services such as assistance with hospitalization expenses, medicines, and medical treatments and procedures, including laboratory tests, CT scans, dialysis, MRIs, antiretroviral therapy, and chemotherapy, for identified and validated poor and eligible beneficiaries.

One of them is Armia Abdulhamid from Barangay Meta in Datu Unsay, Maguindanao del Sur. She and her husband are both farmers. One of her children, Fahad Abdulhamid, 14, underwent a rigorous medication for a year due to bone tuberculosis. Due to poverty and a lack of sufficient income, the family could not afford to provide their beloved son with the necessary medication. If it weren't for MSSD's B-CARES program, they would have had a difficult time providing the necessary medical attention for their sick son.

“Itong anak ko ay hindi nakakalakad dahil nagkaroon ng pananakit sa likod at nong dinala namin sa hospital, ang sabi ng doctor ay bone tuberculosis.” Abdulhamid explained.

“Tinulungan kami ng MSSD ‘yung mga gastusin namin sa hospital every month dahil pabalik-balik po kami sa CRMC sa loob ng isang taong paggagamot ng panganay kong anak,” she added.

The family is grateful for the assistance from the Municipal Office of MSSD and the BARMM government. “Alhamdulillah, at nakakalakad na rin ang anak ko ngayon.”

In both Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao Del Sur under the B-CARES’ medicine assistance, about 2,880 clients were accommodated which total to an amount of P16,068,372. While, 1,135 patients were assisted for their hospital bills, medical assistance, and even burial assistance with P8,037,497 in total.

Meanwhile, according to MSSD Minister Atty. Raissa Jajurie, this initiative aims to support individuals and families in the region who are experiencing crises, as part of the advocacy of BARMM Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim.

“Nakipag-partner din ang MSSD sa mga services providers tulad ng hospitals at mga pharmacies para diretso at mapabilis ‘yong pagproseso ng application hanggang sa delivery ng services,” Jajurie said.

As of November 2024, MSSD has already partnered with the following 13 hospitals inside and outside of the region under its B-CARES program.

● Cotabato Regional Medical Center in Cotabato City
● Amai PakPak Medical Center in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur
● Datu Halun Sakilan Memorial Hospital in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi
● Sulu Provincial Hospital in Jolo, Sulu
● Lamitan District Hospital
● Pangutaran District Hospital in Pangutaran, Sulu
● Basilan General Hospital in Isabela, Basilan
● Cotabato Sanitarium Hospital in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao
● Maguindanao Provincial Hospital in Maguindanao
● Iranun District Hospital
● Community Health Services Cooperative Hospital (COHESCO) in Midsayap, North Cotabato
● Cruzado Hospital
● Deseret Surgimed Hospital
● Tamparan Provincial Hospital, Marawi City.

In total, 9,200 patients and outpatients were accommodated. A total of P73,425,582 were distributed to respective hospitals to serve as funds for the B-CARES program.

Prioritizing and improving equitable access to quality and affordable healthcare services for the Bangsamoro constituents is one of the enhanced priority agenda of Bangsamoro Chief Minister Ahod “Al Haj Murad” Ebrahim. (Myrna Tepadan/BIO)
