This report provides an analysis of access to essential health services in Myanmar from 2021 to 2023, based on publicly available sources of information as well as multiple assessments conducted jointly by the World Bank and World Health Organization during this timeframe. Myanmar faces a multitude of healthcare service delivery and access challenges, which impact the health status of the population and the country’s human capital. The COVID-19 pandemic and political situation since February 2021 have compounded these challenges. Within this context, increasing vulnerability to communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis and malaria, exacerbate the health risks faced by the population, while a growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) result in immediate health concerns with long-term implications for productivity.
