A seven-day eye care mission led by key figures in the Bangsamoro government has brought hope and transformation to marginalised communities in Central Mindanao. This project was spearheaded by Regional Parliament Member Kadil Monera Sinolinding Jr. and Bangsamoro Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim. The lives of thirty-six ophthalmic patients, including those with squint-eye conditions, were offered services. As the mission concluded, its success underscores the importance of accessible healthcare services and collaborative initiatives in addressing the needs of vulnerable populations.

The Ministry of Health in the Bangsamoro region has unveiled a visionary plan to actively leverage the influential platforms of Masjids (mosques) and Madaris (Islamic schools) for health education initiatives. The initiative is designed not only to tackle immediate health concerns but also to establish a robust foundation for sustainable and resilient health practices in the region. This strategic approach actively recognizes and harnesses the pivotal role that religious sectors can play in productively disseminating health awareness programs within grassroots communities.
