MOH-BARMM Strengthens Fight Against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Through Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Training for Primary Care Facilities

IPHO-Maguindanao, Maguindanao del Sur, BARMM — The Ministry of Health – BARMM has reinforced its stand against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the successful conduct of the Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Training for Primary Care Facilities on August 5–6, 2025, in Maguindanao province.

Guided by the vision of Health Minister Dr. Kadil M. Sinolinding, Jr. and steered by Ms. Abla G. Muhammad, RPh, MPA, Pharmacist V and Head of the Pharmaceutical Unit, the two-day training brought together primary care physicians, nurses, medical technologists, pharmacists, and midwives from various Rural Health Units to strengthen their capability in promoting the rational use of antimicrobials.

The program featured an in-depth review of the Department of Health’s AMS Primary Health Care (PHC) course modules, interactive plenary sessions, and open feedback discussions. Attendees also participated in expectation-setting activities, pre- and post-training assessments, and a Pledge of Commitment to uphold AMS principles in their respective facilities.

Highlighting the importance of the initiative, Ms. Muhammad stressed that AMS is vital to preserving the potency of life-saving medicines: “Every prescription counts — and every health worker plays a role in ensuring that antimicrobials remain effective for generations to come.”

Dr. Mohammad Ariff Baguindali, Provincial Health Officer II of IPHO-Maguindanao, commended the Pharmaceutical Unit, the Maguindanao Provincial Hospital Pharmacy Department, and participating health facilities for their dedication, noting that effective AMS at the primary care level is a key defense in safeguarding community health and curbing the spread of AMR.

The event concluded with the presentation of updated guidelines, the awarding of certificates, and recognition of participants’ commitment to responsible antimicrobial use.

Through capacity-building efforts like this, MOH-BARMM continues to advance its public health agenda — fostering collaboration, empowering health frontliners, and ensuring that the fight against AMR remains at the forefront of regional health priorities.

Additionally, they took part in a Re-entry Plan Workshop to develop strategies for implementing their new knowledge in their respective localities.

For the LDWQMC component, participants attended an Establishment/Reactivation Plan Workshop, which enabled municipalities to either form or strengthen their local committees and ensure regular water quality surveillance is in place.

The activity was co-facilitated by the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO) in Tawi-Tawi, under the leadership of Dr. Sangkula G. Laja, PHO II. This reflects the strong partnership between regional and provincial health offices in promoting safe food and safe water throughout the Bangsamoro region.
