"On the 30th anniversary of the foundation of the Shoklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU), a seminar was held on 13-14 December 2016 in Mae Sot, Thailand, to examine the theme, "Health care in a changing national landscape", with a focus on malaria, maternal health and TB/HIV. At a time of critical change, the SMRU anniversary marked an opportune moment to reflect, and look forward, on important issues in national transition in Myanmar at the junction between health, science, economics and politics. Attended by over 200 participants, the meeting represented a diversity of national backgrounds, specialisms and interests. The proceedings were mainly in English, and simultaneous translations were provided in Burmese, Karen and Thai languages. Discussion was under Chatham House Rules, but it was agreed that a position paper would be produced afterwards to summarise the main issues and conclusions during the meeting. To facilitate debate, panels were held on six themes: the changing landscape, community perspective, medical perspective, funding mechanisms and performances, looking forward, and conclusions. The aim was to promote analyses and ideas that address a number of basic health issues in relation to malaria, maternal health and TB/HIV.
