BARMM Provides Medical Supplies and Relief Aid Against Coronavirus

The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) is providing medical supplies, equipment, and relief aid to combat the coronavirus outbreak.

On Wednesday, March 25, BARMM-IATF handed over initial medical supplies including PPE, masks, gloves, and disinfectants to Cotabato Regional Medical Center (CRMC).

Dr. Helen Yambao of CRMC expressed gratitude for these supplies as they were running low on essential items.

Additionally, a C-130 military plane transported more medical supplies from Manila to support BARMM health workers against COVID-19.

BARMM is also distributing relief packs containing food and financial assistance to families affected by quarantine measures in Cotabato City and surrounding areas.

The Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD-BARMM) has allocated PHP7.3 million for initial aid, with plans to extend further support to all constituents in need.
