Hnin Hnin Khaing, 27, attends the new clinic in Bhamo, Kachin state to receive antenatal care throughout her second pregnancy.

On 22nd August, MSF opened a new sexual reproductive healthcare clinic in the Bhamo area of Kachin state Myanmar. This clinic aims to meet the growing needs for services for pregnant women in the area where we are seeing high mortality rates of women during pregnancy and child birth. The clinic runs antenatal and postnatal care for pregnant women including tests for syphilis, anaemia, urinary tract infections and vaccinations against tetanus.

The clinic also provides screening and treatment for STIs, family planning services, and referrals for survivors of sexual or gender based violence.
