COTABATO CITY—The Ayudang Medikal mula sa Bangsamoro Government (AMBaG) has provided medical support to a total of 260,782 beneficiaries as of Aug. 31, 2025.
“Of this number, 112,445 are women, 59,157 are men, and 89,180 are children aged 15 and below, children who no longer have to worry about where to get hospital bills, aiding the parents from fretting, and patients who have been given new hope,” the AMBaG shared in its Facebook post.
Accordingly, more than 260,000 recipients, 84 percent received zero-balance assistance, helping the Bangsamoro families in their financial needs.
“Based on the record, the total funds that the Office of the Chief Minister (OCM) provided for medical aid have reached Php1,172,800,040, a concrete proof of the regional government’s service to the Bangsamoro,” it further mentioned.
These data reflect the overall medical assistance extended to the Bangsamoro recipients in the region and outside the interim government’s territorial jurisdiction since the program began operating in 2019.
“The AMBaG continues to reach [its beneficiaries] from islands to mountains, from remote towns to hospitals outside the region,” it reassured.
As one of the OCM’s flagship programs, the AMBaG provides medical help to the Bangsamoro people with meager incomes, thereby increasing their accessibility to health services.
These initiatives align with Bangsamoro Chief Minister Abdulraof A. Macacua’s approach to the Government of the Day’s seventh priority agenda, ensuring that all social protection programs are inclusive, equitable, and accessible. (Johamin Inok/BIO with reports from AMBaG)
