MisOcc gov’t buys enough medicine supplies while saving P25-M

 


Misamis Occidental--The Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental purchased a variety of drugs, medicines, and medical supplies sufficient for its five provincial-run hospitals, noting that it could financially save approximately P25 million.

The MisOcc government assured the procurement process for the medicines was executed meticulously and the purchasing regulations were strictly observed.

The procurement of supplies was originally budgeted at P73 million.

The provincial government reduced the Approved Budget Contract to P57 million without compromising quality and the quantity of needed supplies.

Its honest procurement practices also led to the final bidding of around P48 million, indicating significant savings to the government funds.

Governor Henry Oaminal underscored the province's unwavering dedication to optimizing and judiciously utilizing public funds without compromising the standards of medical care.

Meantime, the delivery of the procured supplies began at 11:00 p.m.  on March 23, with the Provincial General Services Office (PGSO) working overtime “to ensure the safe handling and storage of the medicines and supplies.”

To streamline distribution, the PGSO will centrally manage these resources, ensuring prompt access for the hospitals based on their needs.

MisOcc government said such initiative not only strengthens the healthcare system within its jurisdiction but also showcases its commitment to responsible financial management and good well-being of the public amidst ongoing challenges. (PGMO)
