Support Backpack Healthworker Teams in Burma
Organization information
Burma Humanitarian Mission
Location: Salt Lake City, United States of America
Summary
In Burma's jungles, children and women suffer a horrific health crisis caused by war and the lack of medical care. The numbers are staggering: 13 out of 100 newborns do not survive their first month. 3 out of 10 children do not reach their 5th birthday. 7 out of 100 mothers die from childbirth. 1 in 4 malaria patients never recover. But there is hope: Backpack medics. In 2019-2020, Burma Humanitarian Mission will support 26 backpack medic teams with 1.5 million doses of medicine.
