  • Violence Against Health Care in Myanmar 11 February to 12 April 2021
    Violence Against Health Care in Myanmar 11 February to 12 April 2021 Around 1 p.m. on 28 March 2021 Myanmar security forces began shooting at protesters in Sanchaung township, Yangon city. As protesters fled the attack and some sought refuge in the Asia Royal Hospital, soldiers and police chased them inside, opening fire with rubber bullets and injuring at least one male hospital staff member who was exiting the hospital The security forces occupied the ground floor of the hospital and surrounded the building for approximately thirty minutes following the incident. The shooting took place near the hospital’s outpatient treatment centre for patients suffering from heart-related health issues. Mass Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) protests have been taking place across Myanmar after the Myanmar armed forces (known as the Tatmadaw) seized control of the country on 1 February following a general election that the National League for Democracy party won by a landslide. The military have since declared a state of emergency to last for at least a year, and numerous countries have condemned the takeover and subsequent violent crackdown on protesters. Hundreds of people, including children, have been killed and many injured during the protests. The violence has impacted health workers, hospitals and ambulances. On 9 April 2021 the military junta announced during a televised press conference that all health workers participating in CDM protests would be considered to be committing genocide. This document is the result of collaboration between Insecurity Insight and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) and Johns Hopkins Center for Public Health and Human Rights (CPHHR) as part of the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC).

    Chapter 6 Myanmar Country Report Kyaw Myint Senior Economist/International Consultant November 2014 This chapter should be cited as Kyaw Myint (2014), ‘Myanmar Country Report’, in Zen, F. and M. Regan (eds.), Financing ASEAN Connectivity, ERIA Research Project Report FY2013, No.15.Jakarta: ERIA, pp.219-264. CHAPTER 6 Myanmar Country Report Kyaw Myint Senior Economist/International Consultant Introduction Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is now in the spotlight both politically and economically. Of late, it has been the go-to site of a growing number of individual and study missions for business, political and humanitarian reasons. During the 22nd World Economic Forum held in Myanmar on 5-7 June 2013, discussions around Myanmar's booming economy also touched on its lack of infrastructure, particularly in the electricity, telecommunications, and energy sectors. For the country, it is all about its courageous transformation for inclusion and integration. The Economy Myanmar's fifth Five-Year Plan for the period 2015-2016 shows targets of 6- percent gross domestic product (GDP) growth for 2011-2012, 6.7 percent for 2012-2013, 8.3 percent for 2013-2014, 8.2 percent for 2014-2015, and 9.6 percent for 2015-2016. The average annual GDP growth rate target for the fifth Five-Year Plan is 7.7 percent. Over the years, Myanmar’s gross domestic investment (GDI) ratio averaged around 12 percent per year. However, in the fifth Five-Year Plan, the investment ratio is at 30 percent and savings ratio at 20 percent while the tax 219 Financing ASEAN Connectivity revenue is only 3 percent of GDP.
