Health

Our goal is to improve access to public health and primary medical care in North West Myanmar

Community Health Care

Through 18 trusted local partners, our community health projects deliver life-saving care across three conflict-affected regions, navigating severe security and movement restrictions.

343 trained Community Health Workers (CHWs) maintain essential services in unstable, hard-to-reach areas. Operating alongside fixed clinics and mobile teams with a 97% supervision rate, the programme achieved key milestones:

  • 137,000+ patient consultations conducted.
  • 13,600+ people screened for malaria, with all 6,600 confirmed cases receiving timely treatment.
  • 5,000+ sexual and reproductive health services delivered to women and families.
  • 742 malnourished children identified, with nearly two-thirds receiving treatment.
  • 712 high-risk patients—including young children and people with disabilities—referred for advanced care.

By prioritising early detection and rapid treatment, the project prevents minor health concerns from escalating into wider public health emergencies, saving lives in complex environments.

Community Ambulance

Displaced families in remote, conflict-affected areas struggle to access care during emergencies, illness, and childbirth due to bad roads and no local ambulances. Monsoon conditions restrict access to four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles, leaving pregnant women especially vulnerable. Health & Hope's 4WD community ambulance service bridges this gap, delivering vital emergency transport where standard healthcare cannot reach.

On 18 February 2026, Nadi (name changed), 55, sustained a spinal injury. With no air transport available, her husband contacted the ambulance service. The ambulance provided immediate, careful transport to hospital and back. After two months of treatment, Nadi and her husband returned home safely.

Home Based Clinic

The Health team provides medical treatment and consultations to patients, supports emergency referral assistance, delivers inpatient care, and conducts home visits to patients requiring additional medical attention and follow-up care. Through the home based clinic the team also provides essential medicines and medical supplies and training to health workers in refugee camps.
