Humanitarian Support
Since 2012, BCMF delivered medical supplies to partner clinics in Karen State, Burma. BCMF works closely with local partners in Burma to not only support clinics through capacity building but to reach more patients in need. As these clinics are located in remote areas of Karen Sate and outside of government administrated areas, they do not receive any government funding and must rely on outside support.

With the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020, BCMF launched the Emergency Support project. Since then, BCMF incorporated the delivery of medical supplies to partner clinics in Karen State under this project, and expanded it to include the delivery of medical supplies and medication to remote and/or underfunded partner clinics in other parts of Burma, support to internally displaced persons and communities affected directly by the 1 February 2021 coup in Burma, as well as to communities in Thailand affected by natural disasters.
