Our Work

BCMF continues to see patients coming in large numbers seeking treatment due to the state of the Burmese health system. There are few Burmese hospitals that are able to provide treatment for complex cases, and at those facilities that do offer care, treatment continues to be cost-prohibitive for many patients. The regime's budget reflects the fact that, despite modest increases, health care spending remains low. In 2013, 3.9% of the country's total budget was dedicated to health care spending.
