At least 2,400 pregnant women and 70,000 children die each year in Myanmar, largely from preventable causes. One third of all children are stunted (short for their age), an indication of chronic poor nutrition. HIV, TB and malaria exact a heavy burden, and drug resistance poses a global public health threat.
In partnership with the Government of Myanmar and other partners, the 3MDG Fund strengthens the national health system at all levels, extending access for poor and vulnerable populations to quality health services.
The 3MDG Fund has a significant, timely and nationwide impact improving maternal, newborn and child health, combating HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, health system strengthening to deliver sustainable, efficient and responsive healthcare across Myanmar. The Fund provides substantial resources aligned with the Ministry of Health’s priorities and initiatives in support of these goals.
It is funded by Australia, Denmark, the European Union, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and will provide funding support of $334 million during 2012–2016. The Fund is managed by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).
