Myanmar HiT (2014)
The Myanmar HiT reports of positive indications that, along with the changes in the country’s political system and administrative structures following the 2010 national elections, the new government is undertaking important reforms in the health sector.
Although resources for health sector have been limited until recently, life expectancy at birth increased for both males and females between 1980 and 2011, along with an increase in the child immunization coverage, and declines in infant and under-five mortality rates, including maternal mortality ratio. Myanmar has made some progress towards achieving its Millennium Development Goals (MDG), but further improvement is needed to reach the 2015 targets.
