The World Medical Relief (WMR) based in Detroit, Michigan has already agreed to help improve the health services in North Cotabato province.
In an interview here recently, Cotabato Governor Emmylou "Lala" J. Talino-Mendoza said that during her meeting in the U.S. last May 7 with WMR CEO and president George V. Samso, who welcomed and toured them in the headquarters, the latter has assured that they will be sending at least five 40-footer container vans containing medicines and other medical equipment before the end of this year.
She said Samso told her that the shipments are being prepared by the medical team to be delivered to Cotabato province before the end of this year.
Meanwhile, Mendoza said a medical mission is also being organized this year to provide free medical services to the people of North Cotabato and neighboring areas in Region 12.
"Cotabato province is in the process of upgrading our eight provincial hospitals and expanding bed capacity to cater and serve the people in this inter-health zone area," Mendoza said during her visit here.
However, she said one of the biggest challenges in this process is the lack of medical equipment and apparatus.
