COTABATO CITY—Medical personnel of Cotabato Regional Medical Center (CRMC) can now benefit from the one-unit modern coaster bus provided by the Bangsamoro Government to guarantee safe transportation of health workers, particularly on their midnight shift and other medical-related transportations.
On Monday, Oct. 17, BARMM Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim and the Ministry of Health (MOH) graced the vehicle’s turnover ceremony held at Badjau Hall, Bangsamoro Government Center (BGC) in this city.
During the ceremony, Chief Minister Ebrahim said the vehicle will not only traverse the region’s roads to save lives but will also “carry messages of hope, peace, and solidarity.”
“This will amplify our call for everyone in the public service, especially those in the medical field to be just committed to their functions, and we in the Bangsamoro Government will provide you with the best possible assistance for you to deliver great results,” Ebrahim said.
“We continue to build infrastructures and provide vehicles for the efficiency of transporting our services and conveniently assist our public servants in their transformations as they fulfill their duties,” he added.
Meanwhile, CRMC Medical Center Chief II Dr. Ishmael Ramalan Dimaren thanked the Bangsamoro Government for its full support in addressing the needs and ensuring the safety of medical staff.
“This is the first time in CRMC’s history that we received such vehicular transportation which will be used for the regular transportation of our employees, especially for those who are living outside Cotabato City,” Dr. Dimaren said on behalf of CRMC.
“Makakaasa po kayo na hindi namin makakalimutan [ang BARMM projects]. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts sa walang sawang pagtulong sa mga pasyente at manggagawa ng CRMC,” he added.
The Medical Chief also mentioned the previous 100-bed capacity as well as healthcare supplies donated by the Bangsamoro Government as part of its commitment to delivering quality services to all communities across the region. (Johaira Sahidala/BIO)
