Newly emerged resistance healthcare systems in northwest Myanmar’s Sagaing Region post-military coup: qualitative insights from anti-junta healthcare workers and community members
The post-coup conflict has severely devastated Sagaing Region's healthcare systems and health status, disproportionately affecting rural areas, demanding immediate action. Failure to address these issues promptly could worsen the region's health outcomes and deepen the humanitarian crisis. Improving healthcare in the region will require effective interventions from international stakeholders to stop junta attacks on healthcare and civilians and innovative ways to support new local healthcare initiatives technically, financially and logistically.
