ABSTRACT
Recently, Myanmar is experiencing an unprecedented health care crisis as the COVID-19 pandemic and political instability due to military coup overlap. This study intends to derive development cooperation plans and implications for strengthening Myanmar's health care system through an analysis of Myanmar's political, economic, and social environment related to health care. In particular, This study suggests that there are priorities and approaches for improving the health care environment by reflecting the rapidly changing health care needs and local conditions after the COVID-19 pandemic and military coup. As a result of the study, it was found that the unstable political environment, low economic condition, and instability due to inter-regional conflicts and civil wars hindered the overall national development of Myanmar and placed a huge burden on the improvement of the health care system. Therefore, to improve the health care environment in Myanmar, it is necessary to take technical approaches to improve the health care system considering the national crisis. The policy implications derived from these analysis are as follows. First, support should be provided to transform health care system into a decentralized structure based on the local community rather than a centralized top-down structure. Second, the capacity of private sector and community-based organizations should be strengthened and actively utilized to strengthen the primary health care service system and expand universal health coverage. Third, support should be provided to establish peaceful health cooperation between conflict regions. Fourth, it is essential to prepare factors for the expansion of health infrastructure in rural and marginalized areas and the incentives for health and medical personnel. Fifth, it is necessary to actively utilize primary health care institutions for the management and prevention of major diseases that cause high disease prevalence and mortality in Myanmar.
