The Rio Tuba Nickel Mining Corporation (RTNMC) has donated P3.6 million to the Municipal Government of Bataraza, specifically for use of the Bataraza District Hospital (BDH) to booster the medical equipment, health professionals, and basic health services in the area.
The collaboration between the Provincial government, MLGU Bataraza, BDH, RTNMC, and Coral Bay Nickel Corporation (CBNC) was initiated last year to foster improved health services for the community.
The funds were sourced from Rio Tuba Mining’s Social Development and Management Program (SDMP), a program specifically designed to support the community and address their socio-economic needs.
By allocating a substantial portion of the SDMP funds to the healthcare sector, the RTNMC seeks to improve the basic welfare of the people and recognize the importance of accessible and quality healthcare services.
The donation is expected to have a tangible impact in Bataraza, allowing it to acquire state-of-the-art medical equipment, hire skilled healthcare professionals, and improve the overall quality of basic health services.
The joint efforts of all stakeholders involved are expected to yield positive outcomes and contribute to the overall betterment of the healthcare sector in Bataraza, ultimately improving the quality of life for its residents.
