  • Healthcare in Myanmar
    REVIEW ARTICLE Nagoya J. Med. Sci. 78. 123 ~ 134, 2016 Healthcare in Myanmar Nyi Nyi Latt1, Su Myat Cho1, Nang Mie Mie Htun1, Yu Mon Saw2, Myat Noe Htin Aung Myint1, Fumiko Aoki1, Joshua A. Reyer1, Eiko Yamamoto1, Yoshitoku Yoshida1 and Nobuyuki Hamajima1 1Department of Healthcare Administration, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan 2Women Leaders Program to Promote Well-being in Asia, School of Health Sciences, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan ABSTRACT Myanmar transitioned to a civilian government in March, 2011. Although the democratic process has accelerated since then, many problems in the field of healthcare still exist. Since there is a limited overview on the healthcare in Myanmar, this article briefly describes the current states surrounding health services in Myanmar. According to the Census 2014, the population in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar was 51,410,000. The crude birth rate in the previous one year was estimated to be 18.9 per 1,000, giving the annual population growth rate of 0.89% between 2003 and 2014. The Ministry of Health reorganized into six departments. National non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations support healthcare, as well as international non-governmental organizations. Since hospital statistics by the govern- ment cover only public facilities, the information on private facilities is limited. Although there were not enough medical doctors (61 per 100,000 population), the number of medical students was reduced from 2,400 to 1,200 in 2012 to ensure the quality of medical education. The information on causes of death in the general population could not be retrieved, but some data was available from hospital statistics.

  • New Politics, an Opportunity for Maternal Health Advancement in Eastern Myanmar: an Integrative Review
    J HEALTH POPUL NUTR 2014 Sep;32(3):471-485 ©INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR DIARRHOEAL ISSN 1606-0997 | $ 5.00+0.20 DISEASE RESEARCH, BANGLADESH New Politics, an Opportunity for Maternal Health Advancement in Eastern Myanmar: An Integrative Review Adam B. Loyer, Mohammed Ali, Diana Loyer Curtin University of Technology, Australia ABSTRACT Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a southeast Asian country, with a long history of military dictator- ship, human rights violations, and poor health indicators. The health situation is particularly dire among pregnant women in the ethnic minorities of the eastern provinces (Kachin, Shan, Mon, Karen and Karenni regions). This integrative review investigates the current status of maternal mortality in eastern Myanmar in the context of armed conflict between various separatist groups and the mili- tary regime. The review examines the underlying factors contributing to high maternal mortality in eastern Myanmar and assesses gaps in the existing research, suggesting areas for further research and policy response. Uncovered were a number of underlying factors uniquely contributing to maternal mortality in eastern Myanmar. These could be grouped into the following analytical themes: ongoing conflict, health system deficits, and political and socioeconomic influences. Abortion was interest- ingly not identified as an important contributor to maternal mortality. Recent political liberalization may provide space to act upon identified roles and opportunities for the Myanmar Government, the international community, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in a manner that positively impacts on maternal healthcare in the eastern regions of Myanmar. This review makes a number of recommendations to this effect. Key words: Government; Human rights violations; International aid; Liberalization; Maternal health; Maternal mortality; MMR; Policy; Pregnancy; Burma/Myanmar INTRODUCTION as 200 (2,3).

  • Myanmar-Report-On-Situation-Analysis-Of-Population-And-Development-Reproductive
    Report on Situation Analysis of Population and Development, Reproductive Health and Gender in Myanmar July, 2010 Foreword The Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), the Beijing Platform of Action and the Millennium Declaration are international commitments reflecting a common vision of a world free from poverty, illiteracy and HIV/AIDs where all people have information and means to safe and planned reproduction and where women and men enjoy equal rights. Throughout the world, nations strive to fulfill their international obligations and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). With only five years away from 2015, the target year of achieving ICPD goals and MDGs, Myanmar stands at a crossroads in its endeavour to achieve the Millennium targets. Issued at the 10th anniversary of the Millennium Summit, this situation analysis report provides valuable inputs in reviewing Myanmar’s progress in achieving MDGs. UNFPA has the honour to present a situation analysis of population and development, reproductive health and gender issues in Myanmar. This study, the most comprehensive of its nature to date, serves as a foundation for policy making, strategic planning and programming by Government, NGOs, INGOs, the international community and the UN. The Situation Analysis report has identified the need to strengthen data systems and improve availability and quality of data. A population and housing census should be conducted to obtain comprehensive population and demographic data at the national and sub-national levels. Census data should be disaggregated by age, sex and locality and be gender sensitive to reflect the situation of women and men.
