Phone Myint; Than Tun Sein; Cassels, Andrew World Health Organization (WHO) (2015) C_WHO

Policy Note #3: Myanmar Health Systems in Transition Policy Notes Series
A network of basic health facilities has been established in each of the 330 townships, covering ...oth rural and urban areas.

As a result, families face a stark choice in the event of serious illness: either defer treatment and face the consequences, or incur what can amount to catastrophic expenses and a downward spiral of disinvestment and poverty. more
