Burma Project The struggle in Burma is as long as it is complex. Over 50 years of fighting have left the country one of poorest in the world. Recently WHO has ranked the Burma public health sector as 190 out of 191. Only Sierra Leone was ranked lower. In many areas of the ethnic minorities, there is no health care at all. This situation applies to more then just a few marginalized people. Over 1,000,000 people have been displaced from their homes by the military government. Simply stated, there are a large number of people who are suffering, afraid, hungry, and sick and little is being done to help them. Earth Mission is just beginning to become involved along side existing Non Government Organizations, (NGO's) as well as Community Based Organizations. In March, 2006 Earth Mission supported one relief mission to two villages in the Karen state of Burma. An Earth Mission doctor lead a team of medics who saw and treated over 100 patients. He reported that many of the young children suffer from malnutrition and chronic untreated malaria. Earth Mission will be looking at more creative, long term solutions to help improve the status of health care in these ethnic areas of Burma. Please contact Earth-Mission for more information or visit the Free Burma Rangers website. For more information also visit our weblog on Burma.
