Description:
"1. Front the time the Committee Representing Pyithu Hluttaw came into being in February
2021, personnel from the soon to be Ministry of Health had been involved in forming the
National Unity Government with the ultimate aim of building a Federal Democratic Union.
At the same time short term plans were laid down to establish the universal healthcare
system that is available to all the denizens and long term health policies were also being
examined.....
2. The Ministry congratulates each and every one of the healthcare workers who have been
taking in the Civil Disobedience Movement. The Ministry duly pledges that the positions,
appointments you hold will be kept open for you. You, the public, also rejected and
rebuffed the healthcare provided for by the military regime. The Ministry offers its
condolences to all the staff and heroes of the whole nation who had fallen due to the brutal
suppression by the junta. In addition, those healthcare workers, who without due
consideration for their own safety, looked after the wounded and the injured and those who
had been arbitrarily arrested, we hope that they are to be released soon and give
encouragement in your fight against the military dictatorship.....
3. Those personnel who have been forcefully removed and have become internally displaced
persons; we shall provide healthcare as soon as is feasible. In addition, we will unite, direct
and care for those whose care facilities have been forcibly closed and healthcare
programmes that are essential to the public, for all to be safely reinstated in the short term
during the interim period of the National Unity Government.....
4. We, therefore, will institute disease prevention programmes and primary care programmes,
trauma care and COVID-19 prevention programmes in the first instance. Tele-consultations
and telemedicine, webinars etc., will play a major part in implementing modern
telecommunications methods in healthcare. To invest in those essential and indispensable
modern means and methods discussion will have to take place with friendly organisations
and donors.....
5. In the long run with the help of all concerned we, hand in hand, will work towards Universal
Health Care (UHC) which will form the basis of the healthcare system in the Federal
Democratic Union. All Ethnic Health Organisations will equally become part of the national
healthcare workforce. We shall all join forces with other health related organisations such
as UN agencies, multinational health organisations, civil societies such Community Based
Organisations/Civil Society Organisations, intellectuals, experts etc and regional leaders and
work together in solidarity.....
6. During the interim period of the National Unity Government, the ministry shall openly
inform the general public of the healthcare choices available to them.....
7. As the Federal Health System is to be the mainstay of our future Nation, we all shall work
together openly with transparency to establish the system. The Ministry vows to strenuously
take part in the building of the future Federal Democratic Union and its Universal
Healthcare System.
