Homes and clinics were damaged, roads were cut off, and access to essential healthcare became even more difficult.

Of the 15 MSI clinics in Myanmar, four were affected by the earthquakes – two of them damaged beyond repair. Yet within days of the disaster, the team had cleaned, repaired, and reopened the Mandalay clinic, ready to serve again.

MSI teams began distributing vital non-food items – family kits, hygiene kits, dignity kits, and water purifiers – to meet urgent needs in the hardest hit communities.

By early April, outreach teams were back on the road, providing trauma care, emergency obstetric services, and ongoing sexual and reproductive healthcare. They worked every day, including through the Myanmar New Year holidays, reaching people in remote villages that other services could not.

Alongside medical care, the teams offered psychological first aid and referrals for those at risk of gender-based violence.

Their response has been nothing short of remarkable:

✅ 10,845 people reached so far 
✅ 449 emergency referrals made 
✅ Over 2,000 essential kits distributed 

Recently, Jorge Moreira da Silva, United Nations Office for Project Services Executive Director, visited one of our clinics and met with clients directly impacted by this work. His visit underscored what we already know—MSI Myanmar’s staff are true humanitarians, responding swiftly and compassionately to crisis. 

Thank you for standing with MSI and staying connected to stories like these. Together, we can keep sharing how our teams work tirelessly to ensure communities can access the healthcare they need—no matter what challenges arise.
