Where there is no doctor

By Celia Russell | Trustee, Tekkatho Foundation

Lisu Community Rescue use MyLIbrary in Putao

In Myanmar, many rural communities lack easy access to medical care, due to the lack of medical facilities and healthcare workers, plus the challenging geography. Many villages don't have basic medical services, which leads to untreated illnesses and high maternal and child mortality rates.

The lack of reliable information and practical guidance makes the situation even harder, which is where the Tekkatho Foundation can make a difference.

We pack our digital MyLibraries with medical and health resources specifically for locations where there is limited or no access to medical professionals, along with guides covering topics such as sanitation, helping those with disabilities, and care for pregnancy and birth.

We also add practical healthcare materials to help communities with limited medical facilities prevent, contain and treat endemic diseases like dengue and tuberculosis. All the resources are adapted for offline delivery through MyLibrary.

The picture shows first responders from the Lisu Youth Community Rescue Team using MyLibrary to build their first aid skills.

Your donations are crucial in helping communities increase their resilience and improve health outcomes, making a lasting impact on their well-being. Thank you for your continued support.
