Balindong District Hospital to Manage the BDH–OPAPRU Annex Hospital in Munai, Lanao del Norte

Munai, Lanao del Norte | July 13, 2026

Balindong District Hospital (BDH) has been entrusted by the Ministry of Health–Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MOH-BARMM), under the leadership of Minister Khadil Sinolinding Jr., to annex and manage a newly established health facility in Munai, Lanao del Norte. The facility, which will be known as the BDH–OPAPRU Annex Hospital, is one of six (6) health facilities established through the joint initiative of the Bangsamoro Government and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU) to strengthen healthcare delivery in former conflict-affected communities.

The establishment of the BDH–OPAPRU Annex Hospital marks a significant milestone in expanding access to quality, accessible, and equitable healthcare services for the Bangsamoro people. Beyond delivering essential medical services, the initiative also seeks to build the capacity of local stakeholders, empowering them to eventually operate and sustain the health facility independently, thereby promoting long-term community ownership and resilience.

On July 13, 2026, the dynamic, visionary, and service-oriented Chief of Hospital, Dr. Datumanong L. Domado, CFP, MHA, together with the hospital's Administration and Finance Teams, conducted a comprehensive ocular inspection of the proposed annex facility. During the visit, the delegation also paid a courtesy call to MP Commander Bravo and his team to strengthen collaboration and discuss the shared vision for the project.

The inspection focused on assessing the facility's compliance with healthcare standards and identifying the essential requirements necessary prior to operationalization. These included medical equipment, logistics, medical supplies, utilities, infrastructure improvements, and other operational necessities to ensure that the facility is fully prepared to deliver safe, efficient, and quality healthcare services.

To further advance the project, a consultative meeting was held on July 17, 2026, at Balindong District Hospital. The meeting brought together representatives from MP Commander Bravo's Office, the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU), the Chief of Hospital, and the BDH Administration and Finance Teams.

The discussions centered on addressing operational gaps, finalizing preparatory requirements, and strengthening inter-agency coordination to ensure the successful establishment of the BDH–OPAPRU Annex Hospital. Key topics included human resource requirements, financial and logistical support, operational sustainability, governance mechanisms, and the safety and security of personnel who will be assigned to the facility.

Under the exceptional leadership of Dr. Datumanong L. Domado, Balindong District Hospital continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to advancing this transformative initiative. His proactive leadership, decisive action, and steadfast dedication have accelerated preparations for the operationalization of the annex hospital, reflecting BDH's enduring mission of bringing quality, accessible, patient-centered, family-focused, and community-oriented healthcare services closer to underserved Bangsamoro communities.

Balindong District Hospital extends its sincere appreciation to the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO) Lanao del Sur, the Ministry of Health–BARMM, OPAPRU, MP Commander Bravo, and all partner agencies and stakeholders for their trust, guidance, and unwavering support in making this initiative possible.

Through strong collaboration and shared commitment, the BDH–OPAPRU Annex Hospital represents more than the establishment of a new healthcare facility—it is a testament to the collective pursuit of peace, development, and improved health outcomes for the Bangsamoro people. Together, we continue to strengthen the regional healthcare system by delivering compassionate, quality, and accessible healthcare services while empowering communities toward sustainable, locally managed health facilities.

• Those with a righteous friend who guides them toward the straight path—reminding us to avoid tardiness and to seek the companionship of those who encourage goodness and faith.

• Those blessed with wealth for both the dunya and the akhirah—wealth that serves as protection from hardship in this life, yet also a responsibility, as we will be questioned in the Hereafter on how it was earned and used.

• Those endowed with knowledge (‘ilm), which comes in degrees—demonstrated through sincere service and good deeds, where acts of worship such as Dhikr, prayer, and other forms of devotion bring equal spiritual reward when performed with sincerity.

The gathering was further blessed by the announcement of a small amount of Sadaqah to be distributed from an anonymous donor, embodying the spirit of generosity and compassion that defines this sacred month.
