The BackPack Health Worker Team (BPHWT) has opened a rural clinic in No-khwee Village, where healthcare is out of reach, in Paingkyon Township, Hpa-an District in the Karen State on March 3.
The BPHWT’s deputy director Nan Snow said No-khwee Village does not receive any healthcare service from the government and local authorities due to difficulties in travelling and lack of clinics in nearby areas to seek medical treatment in case of a health problem.
Burma Humanitarian Mission funded the required costs for building the clinic and the BPHWT will provide necessary healthcare service.
The clinic is the first clinic opened by the BPHWT after two decades of providing healthcare service.
