1. Like soldiers of infantry units, medical
corps will have to show qualities
such as courage which are based on patriotic spirit
The following is the address delivered by
Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General
Than Shwe at the graduation parade of the Fourth
Intake of DSMA.
On this passing-out parade of Intake No 4 of the
Defence Services Medical Academy, I would like to
impart to you a few words you should know well.
The Defence Services Medical Academy was established
in 1992 and its purpose is to turn out the medical
officers of the defence services who are full of
physical prowess and mental faculty and who will
safeguard ?Our three main national causes?. And the
motto of the Academy is ?Victorious medical
practitioner soldiers?. Therefore, you should try your
best to be successful not only as soldiers in battle
fields but also as doctors in medical profession.
As you all have completed the military training as
platoon commanders, you are even capable of performing
military duties in the infantry. And you will have to
train the medical units you have to take charge of to
be always ready for battles. Only then, will the
defence services medical staff be able to execute the
primary duty of soldiers. Like the members of the
infantry units, you will have to show qualities such
as courage which are based on patriotic spirit.
Therefore, I would like to urge you all to stick to
?Three constants?, that is, you will have to
constantly undergo training ; you will have to
constantly exercise military vigilance; you always
have to be constantly in combat readiness.
The main duty of the Tatmadaw is to fight, to undergo
training and to carry out nation-building tasks. Ours
being the patriotic Tatmadaw, we have to perform the
national defence duty at risk to our own lives and
serve the interests of the people wherever we are
posted. Accordingly, the Tatmadaw today is executing
the national defence duty and the nation-building
tasks at the same time.
At a time like this when we are having to shoulder the
responsibilities of the State, it is our duty to
protect the life and property of the people so that
they will be able to live in peace of mind and to
create an environment in which they will be able to
earn their living freely. Economic infrastructures
have been built to ensure economic development in all
the regions across the Union. To avoid a situation in
which only one or two major cities are well-developed
and all the rest of the nation have to depend on them
socially and economically, 24 development regions have
been established and measures are being taken to
improve economic, health and education sectors and to
narrow the gap among the regions.
The five rural development tasks are being implemented
for the development of both rural and urban areas.
Strenuous efforts are being made for the devleopment
of border areas which lagged behind other regions due
to internal strife. Therefore, it is sure that our
future nation will experience continuous development.
All of you, hand in hand with the people, will have to
lend yourselves to the drive for the emergence of a
peaceful, modern and developed nation.
You are going to discharge your duties in various
regions across the nation. Therefore, I would like to
touch on Union Spirit. The colonialists, during their
rule over our land, intentionally sow discord and
division among the national races. As a result, armed
conflicts accompanied the nation?s independence and
thus delayed its development. It is in the time of the
Tatmadaw Government that the national reconsolidation
has been restored and rapid development achieved. It
is the practical lesson that the development of the
State totally rests on national unity. Should national
unity collapse, there could be a bloodbath in the
nation and it would be erased from the map of the
world.
Therefore, it is the duty of all the national brethren
living in the states and divisions of the Union to
build and defend their motherland. This is called the
Union Spirit.
I would like to urge you to cooperate with members of
the Union Solidarity and Development Association,
Myanmar War Veterans Organization, Myanmar Police
Force, Fire Brigade, Red Cross Society and the entire
national people for the flourishing of Union Spirit.
You are medical staff of the Tatmadaw. The objective
of the medical corps is ?healthy and strong to fight?.
In line with the objective, you are to take care of
the health of the Tatmadawmen and their family members
as well as of the people living in rural and border
areas.
Nowadays, measures are being taken to realize the
objective of ensuring a healthy and long life for the
entire people. In accordance with human resource
development index, steps are being taken for the
people, including those in the rural areas, to enjoy
higher life expectancy. The National Health Committee
is taking care of national health and fitness.
There were only three institutes of medicine and one
institute of dental medicine but now there are 16
institutes of medicine and health- related
universities. The tasks for human resource development
in medical profession are also being carried out. 29
doctorate degree courses, seven Dr Med Sc courses and
25 M Med Sc courses are being conducted.
Forty-seven officers of the first intake and 65 of the
second intake are now working for M.Med.Sc degree. The
rest of the officers are also going to attend various
post-graduate courses. Therefore, I would like to urge
you to make constant effort to become outstanding
physicians. The State will decorate those who can
improve its image by making a new discovery in the
medical field.
Asian countries are now doing research on their
traditional medicines so that they can be widely used
all over the world. We must try our best so that
Myanmar traditional medicines and therapies
will be internationally recognized. Moreover, we must
see to it that we are independent when it comes to
medicines.
You are junior leaders of the Tatmadaw. Therefore, you
need to be endowed with characteristics of a good
leader to command the trust of your surbodinates. You
must try to be a good soldier by setting good
examples. You must have the spirit of a good commander
and a good parent. You should always be willing to do
whatever is good for the Tatmadaw. You should always
be ready to make sacrifices for the sake of the
nation. You must have the ability to keep the unit
under your charge always in unity and to preserve the
12 fine traditions of the Tatmadaw.
Being physicians, you have to abide by the
professional ethics. You often need to undergo
military trainings and make a constant study of
medicine. Especially, you have to do simultaneous
research on military science and medical science to
give treatments in the future wars staged with the use
of modern weapons.
In conclusion, I would like to urge you all:
- to try your best to become outstanding physicians
and victorious soldiers in the battle fields
- to strive for the flourishing of Union Spirit with
national conviction
- to make energetic efforts for the uplift of health
and fitness of the entire nation
- to become good leaders who can preserve the 12 fine
traditrions of the Tatmadaw and
- to participate, hand in hand with the people, in
building a peaceful, modern
and developed nation.

party attended the opening ceremony of the Community

Anti-Narcotics Association (Tachilek District) held at
the Hokho monastery in Phanmin Village-tract, Tachilek
Township, on 24 January morning.
First, the minister formally unveiled the signboard of
the treatment centre. Then, the minister and party
inspected round the centre and spoke words of
encouragement to the patients undergoing treatments at
the centre. Then, the opening ceremony continued. The
minister made a speech. In his speech, he said he took
pride in being able to establish the first ever
self-reliant drug addict treatment centre in Myanmar.
It was also a pride for the local people because the
successful opening of the centre was due to the
concerted efforts of Myanmar Anti-Narcotics
Association (Tachilek District) and the public under
the supervision of Tachilek District Peace and
Development Council.
He had been assigned duty to wipe out narcotic drugs
in Shan State (East), and he had toured the region for
four times from November 2002 to date. The Head of
State had given guidance on establishing drug-free
districts near the border areas ? Tachilek, Myawady,
and Kawthoung. The Head of State had assigned duty to
him to eliminate narcotic drugs in Tachilek District
ahead of the other two districts.
For the elimination of narcotic drugs in the region,
it was needed to make sure that there were no
cultivation of marijuana and poppy, no production of
stimulant tablets, no trafficking of such narcotic
drugs and no drug addicts.
He said he had learnt that Tachilek District was
actively participating in anti-narcotics drive. After
the formation of Myanmar Anti-Narcotics Association
(Central),Myanmar Anti-Narcotics Association (Tachilek
District) was formed ahead of others. Headmaster of
Basic Education High School U Maung Tint being the
chairman of the district association. Organizational
and educational tasks of the association were sure to
be effectively and widely carried out among the youths
and in the district, he said.
To strengthen the three strategies for eradication of
narcotic drugs, drug addict treatment hospitals,
rehabilitation centres, associations to disseminate
anti-narcotics measures and organizations to take
legal actions against offenders were all equally
essential. Tachilek District was complete with all the
prerequisites for the successful eradication of
narcotic drugs, he said.
In November 2002, the Chairman of the Central
Committee for Drug Abuse Control Minister for Home
Affairs and he himself visited Tachilek to carry out
anti-narcotics organizational and educational tasks
and prevention tasks, and set up billboards of three
drug eradication slogans at ten main centres in
Tachilek.
He had toured Monghsat, Mongton, Pungpahkyem before
arriving in Tachilek. He said the Monghsat District
Peace and Development Council Chairman had reported to
him that the poppy cultivation had been reduced yearly
and there had been only 66 acres of poppy plantations
in Mongton Township. Over 30 acres of the poppy
plantations could be destroyed by public means and the
rest cultivated in the deep forest was destroyed by
means of military operations by the members of the
Tatmadaw. Therefore, no poppy plantation was left in
Monghsat District. The minister said he was pleased to
deliver such good news to the local people.
He said he believed that there would be no poppy
cultivation in Tachilek District, where there was a
little poppy cultivation in the past. Although there
was no poppy cultivation in Tachilek and Monghsat
Districts, production and trafficking of stimulant
tablets were traced in the regions. Tachilek District
was contiguous to the other country and accessible to
Laos across the Mekong river. Stimulant tablet
trafficking activities based in Ngakongmu region of
Monghsat District had been traced. Stimulant tablet
problem became a challenge for the eradication of
narcotic drugs.
Although poppy plantations are quiet visible,
stimulant tablets production could not be traced
easily because they could be produced in a ten
square-feet apartment or a kitchen or on a trailer of
a truck. Such cases could only be exposed and crushed
with information provided by the public.
In conclusion, the minister called for concerted
efforts of the local people for the successful
declaration of a drug-free zone, and urged them to
inform the responsible officials about the suspects.
Then, Chairman of Tachilek District Peace and
Development Council Lt-Col Aung Nyunt Thein explained
that the Head of State and officials are endeavouring
for drug elimination throughout the country. The
opening of the newly-opened Drug Addicts Treatment
Centre is to fulfil the wish of the Head of State. The
treatment will be given to the drug addicts at the
centre, and then similar treatments will be provided
at other village-tracts in Tachilek District. Next, he
thanked officials and Tachilek District Anti-Narcotics
Association for their performance in building the
community based drug addicts treatment centre and
added that continuous efforts will be made for the
drug elimination in Tachilek District.
Then, Dr Khin Maung Gyi of the Ministry of Health said
that the Ministry of Health is carrying out the health
education for prevention against the drug abuse,
treatment to drug addicts and rehabilitation tasks.
Although there were six major drug addict treatment
units, 20 minor units and two rehabilitation centres
before 1988, the units could not undertake their tasks
effectively. After 1988, there are 26 major drug
addicts treatment units, 40 minor units and two
rehabilitation centres which are undertaking their
tasks effectively. So far, over 300 drug addicts out
of estimated over 700 have been given treatment in
Shan State (East).
Drug addict treatment at the hospital is very
expensive and waste of time for the patient and his
family. The community based drug addict treatment is
cheap and it can be performed successfully in a short
time. The World Health Organization also accepted the
treatment.
There are three factors in addicting to the drug such
as the narcotic drug, the user and condition of the
user. The drug addiction problem could not occur if
any one of the three factors is lacking there would be
no drug problem. The local people of other villages
are to make endeavours for opening of the treatment
centre as an example.
Next, Chairman of Phanmin Village-tract Peace and
Development Council U Than Tun thanked departmental
officials, local people and Tachilek District
Anti-Narcotics Association for establishment of the
drug addicts treatment centre.
After the ceremony, Minister U Tin Winn cordially
conversed with those present.
Phanmin Village-tract, Tachilek Township, has over
6,000 population and over 1,200 households in 20
villages. The treatment for 20 drug addicts will be
performed at the newly-opened Community Based Drug
Addicts Treatment Centre within three weeks. In doing
so, Phanmin Village-tract Peace and Development
Council would sponsor the treatment for the drug
addicts during the three weeks. Specialist Dr U Sai
Kham Law and nurses of Tachilek District Health
Department performed the medical treatments along
with medicines free of charge.
Tachilek District Anti-Narcotics Association organized
the drug addicts of villages to take medical
treatment. It is the first time in the country for
giving drug addict treatment.
WHO also recognized that the Community Based Drug
Addicts Treatment is a cheap and effective programme.
Similar treatment programmes are also undertaken at
other villages in Tachilek District.
