Visited Yangon to inspect the medical situation in Myanmar
Members visited Yangon to inspect the medical situation in Myanmar. The women and the men in the center and on the far right are wearing "longi," a traditional Myanmar dress worn daily.
Central Women's Hospital is a historic women's hospital founded in 1897, celebrating its 120th anniversary in 2017. It also provides perinatal care.
The New Yangon General Hospital was established with Japanese ODA in 1984. It was discussed with hospital officials that a "medical seminar" focusing on infection control will be held.
We still use the sterilization equipment provided free of charge by Japan, but the maintenance of medical equipment and training of personnel are major issues.
A modern pharmacy in a private hospital in Yangon. All medical services are provided within the hospital, making it convenient for users.
There are no pharmacies like in Japan, and medications are prescribed at a clinic run by a doctor from the hospital.
Everyone uses a powder called "Thanaka" that also acts as a UV protection agent.
Many women in Myanmar still apply a white powder called "Thanaka" to their faces. "Thanaka" is made by grinding the Thanaka tree, which has a soft fragrance, into a powder. Thanaka is so popular that not only women but also many children apply it to their faces. It is said that applying Thanaka to the face makes the face feel cool and refreshing, and is a way to protect against the heat that is unique to Burma (sun protection).
