FN-bureauet IRIN har begået en lille film “Myanmar (Burma) – Awaiting Change”, som kan ses her og blotlægger et land med uendeligt ringe sundhedssystemer – og skildrer, hvad man nu har tænkt sig at gøre ved det.
NAIROBI, 9 August 2012 (IRIN): For decades, Burma’s military rulers spent less on their citizens’ health – just two US dollar (ca. 18 DKR) per capita (indbygger) in 2010 – than almost any other country in the world.
As a result, the Asian country has suffered from a chronic shortage of drugs, medical supplies, equipment and nurses.
In a nation where 70 per cent of the 58-million-strong population lives outside of urban areas, most villages lack basic healthcare, so when people get sick they often have to walk for hours to reach pubic hospitals or clinics.
In some places NGOs and monasteries (buddist-klostre) try to fill the gap, but needs are far too great to be fully met.
Amid a transition from military to quasi-civilian rule, officials have announced a quadrupling (firedobling) of the national health budget and a programme of hospital renovation.
