Health Policy and Practice in Myanmar: A Civil Society Perspective
Dr Helen James
ADSRI
Abstract
Even before the devastating cyclone hit Myanmar on 3 May, the country's health system was under severe stress, despite the best efforts of professionals and civil society groups to provide health and social welfare services in an environment of constant government underfunding. In a country where one third of children suffer malnutrition and between 25 and 50% of the population survive on less than USD1 per day, the domestic civil society sector has an essential role to play in assisting vulnerable people. This seminar provides a snapshot of the health sector in Myanmar just prior to the cyclone and analyzes the prospects for longer term improvement in poverty alleviation and human security in this country which is one of the poorest in the world.
