Under the implementation of NAMFREL and the Department of Health's (DOH) Medicine Monitoring Project 2, NAMFREL monitored a total of Php 1.3 billion pesos worth of the Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC) both for pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical products. This procurement monitoring results were taken from the Observers Diagnostic Report (ODR) from the 22 projects sites, whose Bids and Awards Committees (BACs) have directly monitored by NAMFREL volunteer-observers.

BAC monitoring

Data from four project sites were not included in the 2010 procurement report (Table 1) as the observers in said sites were able to attend only the the pre-bid conference. These sites were Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital (CLMRH) in Bacolod, Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital (DJFMH), Center for Health Development (CHD) for Mimaropa, and Gov. Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital in Bohol. Similarly, observer were not able to cover at all six project sites due to late participation of volunteers in said areas. These
