MOH-BARMM Strengthens Health System Accountability Through 2024 LGU Health Scorecard Validation
COTABATO CITY — The Ministry of Health of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MOH-BARMM) concluded a region-wide data validation and reconciliation exercise for the 2024 Local Government Unit (LGU) Health Scorecard, held from April 15 to 29, 2025.
The initiative, which brought together provincial, city, and municipal health officers, technical chiefs, public health nurses, and LGU representatives, aimed to ensure data accuracy, integrity, and transparency in the region’s healthcare delivery system.
The LGU Health Scorecard, a key monitoring tool developed by the Department of Health (DOH), evaluates local health system performance based on 13 key health indicators aligned with the DOH’s 8-Point Action Agenda and Universal Health Care (UHC) Law. It enables local leaders to identify health priorities, plan and strategize effective interventions,technical assistance, and recognition for exemplary performance.
Dr. Miriam Cecilia B. Sales, Medical Officer IV from DOH’s Bureau of Local Health Systems Development, guided participants on leveraging the Scorecard to strengthen local systems. She also presented the “Good Practices in Health” (GPH) Program, which documents replicable, evidence-based community health solutions addressing health problems including social determinants of health.
Participants were also oriented on the PuroKalusugan Primer, a new primary care initiative aimed at enhancing health service delivery in underserved areas. Spearheaded by Nurse Coordinator Mr. Asief Konsuan and supported by DOH Central Office’s Mr. Ray Justin Ventura, the program focuses on community-level interventions across eight health priority areas, including immunization, maternal and child care, nutrition, and chronic disease management.
The launch of PuroKalusugan is seen as a milestone in promoting equitable access to healthcare in the Bangsamoro region.
Most notably, spearheaded by Minister Dr. Kadil M. Sinolinding, Jr., DPBO, and through the collaborative efforts of the Planning Division and the Regional LGU Health Scorecard Team—headed by Ms. Anisa A. Matuan, MPA, Planning Officer V/LGU Health Scorecard Coordinator, and supported by team members Engr. Tohami B. Ibrahim, MPA, Ms. Nasimah O. Sinarimbo, RN, MPA, Ms. Sittie Fhayda G. Zainal, RN, MPA, Ms. Esmeline B. Glang, RN and Mr. Ken John Ramos—the MOH-BARMM successfully held its Local Health Systems Awards and Recognition. This event acknowledged the outstanding collaborative efforts and performance of various Rural Health Units and LGUs in the 2023 LGU Health Scorecard Implementation. The series of awarding was attended by the Regional Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Abdulhalik M. Kasim, MDM, CESE and Director II of Admin and Finance Laxaman Bangcola, MPA, PhD.
As a result of this initiative, the Department of Health and the Ministry of Health recognized 68 top-performing local government units (LGUs) with awards for their outstanding achievement in meeting various key health indicators. This recognition highlights their dedication to enhancing local health outcomes and advancing the implementation of Universal Health Care within their communities.
