In northern Shan, we were forced to suspend our activities in Lashio and Muse townships, where we had focused on sexual and reproductive health and pediatric care, though we resumed services in Muse in October.
In Kachin, while escalating violence forced us to suspend activities in Bhamo, we continued to address the critical health needs of people in Myitkyina, Hpakant, Mogaung, and Mohnyin by supporting the national HIV and tuberculosis (TB) programs. We also provided care for victims and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health care for pregnant and lactating women, and general health care for children under 5.
In Yangon, we maintained our support to Aung San TB hospital, and started to offer hepatitis C screening and treatment, and hepatitis B vaccinations.
In Tanintharyi region, in addition to HIV care, we ran general health services, including treatment for non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, and sexual and reproductive health care. In 2024, we expanded these services to cover Kawthaung, Myanmar’s southernmost district.
