Foreword by H.E. Professor Pe Thet Khin, Union Minister for Health Myanmar has entered into the new era for building a modern and developed democratic nation. The Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar is undertaking series of reforms for development of the country in line with democratic practice. The Ministry of Health is providing comprehensive health care services, covering activities for promoting health, preventing diseases, providing effective treatment and rehabilitation. Expenditures for health have raised considerably, equity and access to health services have been ensured all over the country. There have been a lot of improvements in health services both structurally and functionally. Free services for the emergency treatments, hospital deliveries and some specialist care are being provided. Regarding quality of care, more grass-root level health facilities such as Station Hospitals, Rural Health Centers and Sub-Rural Health Centers are established, renovated and upgraded. Medicines and medical equipment are also increasingly provided to all health facilities. However, there is a lot more to be done to achieve the MDGs and maintain the momentum beyond 2015. Ministry of Health will keep on honouring its commitments by continuing its involvement in the collective efforts of all stakeholders to ensure the highest level of health for the people.
