PROJECT INFORMATION	The Myanmar National Health Infrastructure Upgrade Project is a large initiative to address critical healthcare gaps in underserved regions across the nation. In rural Myanmar, where 70% of the population lives, most villages lack basic healthcare, making this project essential for achieving universal health coverage and improving health outcomes nationwide. The project will hope to build 1,200 new healthcare facilities across rural and underserved areas, upgrade 500 existing hospitals and clinics to modern standards, reduce maternal mortality by 50% and infant mortality by 60%, achieve 90% population coverage within 30km of a health facility, train and deploy 25,000 additional healthcare professionals, and establish telemedicine networks connecting remote areas to urban medical centres. In total, 9,152 sub-rural health centres and 746 Station hospitals are in service across the country. Tertiary level care is offered at 38 national hospitals, which are mainly located at major cities in Myanmar. Fewer than 38 percent of nurses and 25 percent of doctors work in rural areas, there are insufficient training facilities for these professionals, and limited access to specialized care outside major cities. Phase 1: To build 15 regional medical centres with 300-500 beds in multiple regions. These will offer advanced surgery, intensive care, specialist departments, and medical education. Each facility will serve 2-4 million people within 200km radius. Phase 2: To build 85 district hospitals with 100-200 beds. These will offer general surgery, intenral medicine, obstetrics, emergency care, and imaging. Each facility will serve 300,000-600,000 people within 50km radius. Phase 3: To build 400 township health centres with 25-50 beds. These will offer primary care, maternal health, preventive services, and a laboratory. Each facility will serve 50,000-150,000 people within 15km radius. Phase 4: To build 700 community health posts with 5-15 beds. These will offer primary care, maternal care, immunizations, and basic health education. Each facility will serve 5,000-25,000 people within 5km radius. Each regional medical centre will have an ICU, operating theaters, and diagnostics imaging. A medical college and nursing school attached. Helicopter landing pad for emergency transport. Advanced medical equipment and laboraty facilities and staff housing and training facilities. Each district hospital will have an emergency department, 4 operating theaters, X-ray, ultrasound, and a basic laboratory. A maternity ward and pediatric unit. A pharmacy and blood bank facilities. Staff quarters and outpatient clinics. Each township health centres will have a minor surgery capability with a basic laboratory. A telemedicine connectivity to district hospitals. Ambulance service and medical equipment and community health worker training centre. Each community health post will have vaccination cold chain storage. Solar power systems and water treatment. Motorcycle ambulance for patient transport and medicine storage and distribution point. A total of USD1,200,000,000.00 will be invested for medical equipment and technology, USD400,000,000.00 for training and education infrastructure, and USD300,000,000.00 logistics and supply chain.
