Since February 2021, health professionals and institutions across the UK have come together through the Health Partnerships for Myanmar community to support colleagues delivering healthcare in Myanmar and along its border. Working voluntarily, some 54 institutions have been involved, contributing to activities across four distinct areas: medical education and quality improvement, communications, advocacy, and fundraising.

One of the medical clinics we support lies three miles from the Myanmar border in Mae Sot, Thailand. The Mae Tao Clinic serves around 150,000 refugees and migrant workers. For thousands of them, it is the only source of care.

In 2025, the clinic saw:

134,320 consultations

8,719 patients admitted

1,640 safe deliveries

Like many healthcare facilities operating with limited resources, Mae Tao Clinic relies on additional support cover the cost of essential supplies.

Today, we need your help. Behind every diagnosis is a test that helps healthcare workers make informed decisions about treatment. From detecting malaria and hepatitis to monitoring blood glucose and identifying other conditions, routine laboratory tests are essential to the care patients receive.

Every contribution, whatever its size, can help Mae Tao Clinic maintain access to these essential tests and continue providing care to the people who need it most.
