Cotabato City voted for inclusion in the BARMM in the plebiscite of January 2019 but then Cotabato City mayor Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi urged then President Rodrigo Duterte to maintain the status quo until the end of the transition period on June 30, 2022.

The BIO also reported that Niñal narrated that lack of facilities and human resources are among the major problems that he hopes the MOH will address to enhance CHO’s quality of service delivery. “Kung naibigay sa amin ito noon pa, siguro naging center for excellence itong Cotabato City. Ngayong nandito na kami, nakikipagtulungan na kami sa BARMM—malaking pasalamat namin dito at malaking epekto ito sa mga Cotabateño” , the BIO quoted Niñal as saying.
The BIO said a coordination meeting was held after the turnover ceremony where the programs of the MOH were presented under its Family Health cluster, Non-Communicable Cluster, Infectious Disease Cluster, Regulations, Licensing and Enforcement Division, Nutrition, Water Sanitation, and Hygiene Cluster, Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Units / Health Emergency Management Bureau, Human Resource for Health, Barangay Health Workers, and Health Facility Development Division.
