๐๐ 1. Need Arises to Build Bomb-Resistant Underground Hospitals and Clinics, Says Union Minister Dr. Zaw Wai Soe
May 26
Union Minister Dr. Zaw Wai Soe from the Ministry of Health under the National Unity Government (NUG) has stated that there is now a pressing need to construct bomb-resistant underground hospitals and clinics.
“In the past, we were able to establish frontline hospitals and clinics in secure forested or mountainous areas, where we provided medical treatment. However, due to the intensification of attacks during the months of April and May, these facilities can no longer guarantee safety. As a result, we are now compelled to build underground hospitals and clinics capable of withstanding bomb blasts—specifically, those that can resist the impact of 500- to 1000-pound bombs.
I would like to take this opportunity to call upon all Myanmar nationals both inside and outside the country, as well as international donors, to support the construction of these bomb-resistant underground medical facilities,” the minister emphasized.
Currently, the Ministry of Health has partnered with 29 Regional Health Officers and 227 Township Medical Officers, and is operating primary healthcare services across 190 townships.
Healthcare services are being delivered by a workforce of 5,098 healthcare professionals across 106 hospitals, 808 clinics, and more than 192 mobile clinics. In Sagaing Region alone, the number of outpatients treated increased significantly from 10,558 to 1,241,633 over a span of four years.
