Since March 2025, MedAcross has been bringing free medical care to rural communities in Southern Myanmar through the PRO.MY – Mobile Clinics for Rural Health project, supported by the Otto per Mille of the Waldensian Church.
In this region, years of political crisis and conflict have left thousands of families without access to healthcare. Many clinics are closed, medicines are too expensive, and travel to hospitals is unsafe or unaffordable.
To respond to this urgent need, our mobile medical teams visit ten remote villages every month, providing free consultations, treatments, and essential medicines. Each team includes doctors, nurses, and local health workers who focus on the most vulnerable — especially women and children.
The project also ensures quarterly obstetric check-ups for over 200 pregnant women and monthly follow-up visits for 1,000 patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
Between March and October 2025, the clinics have reached nearly 4,000 people. In October alone, seven sessions were organized in the villages of Patta, TinTaung, InnDaing, MoeKaung, ChaungPat, Na Be Pin, and TaungYin, providing medical care to 446 people affected by the recent earthquake.
Thanks to your support and the contribution of the Waldensian Church, MedAcross continues to bring healthcare and hope to families who would otherwise be left without care.
Together, we make health accessible for everyone.
