A
medical mobile team has provided free medical treatment to over 5,000 people so
far, including care for contagious and infectious diseases, to villagers in
Buthidaung Township, Rakhine State, according to a medical official.
“I
am a doctor from Taungbazar station. Now I have been assigned to Buthidaung
Hospital.
There
are a total of six mobile teams including one in Zaytipyin Village. Since 14
July, the six mobile teams have provided medical treatment to 5,529 patients in
the villages”, said Dr. Saw Min Thein. The mobile teams provide free medical
treatment to the villagers 20 days a month. The mobile teams will continue
toprovide medical treatment over the next six or seven months with the use of
Union budget funding.
The
areas of Buthidaung and Maungtaw that were affected by terrorist attacks faced
difficulties in re-opening the clinics and hospitals in the region.
The
mobile teams will provide medical treatment in the villages until the clinics
and hospitals are fully operational.—Myint Maung / Zayar
