Medecins du Monde [MDM] - Yangon

MdM is working with the most at-risk populations in the state of Kachin and in Yangon. These populations are supported medically, psychologically and socially in four clinics, but also through outreach work in the field. (diagnosis and treatment of STI, anonymous and free screening, antiretroviral therapy, general medical consultations…)
The centers also offer education sessions on health and nutrition, entertainment, social activities, activities to build self-esteem, legal advice…
The coastline of the Irrawaddy delta was badly affected by Hurricane Nargis in May 2008. Almost four years later, reconstruction is far from complete. MdM remains the only international medical organization in the township of Pyapon, an area which was very badly damaged.
