Rain Tree Clinic

A Beacon of Hope for Karen State.

The Need

Access to healthcare amid a decades-long crisis.

RTC sits deep in the jungle, offering safe medical access to rural and displaced families. Patients travel for days to avoid military-controlled cities, and surgical teams rotate near conflict to intervene for trauma patients and vulnerable villages.

Our Approach

A teaching hospital training the next generation of Karen professionals.

RTC provides hands-on medical and technical training and powers the region’s first surgical capabilities. With 24-hour access to medical care and referral transport to Thailand, high-quality healthcare is delivered to thousands of patients every year.

The Result

A thriving community in the midst of conflict.

More than 300 staff, students, patients, and families live and learn on campus at any time. Mentorship and shared purpose are raising up a new generation of medical professionals and leaders for Karen State.
