Myanmar, also known as Burma, has suffered decades of repressive military rule and civil war with ethnic minority groups. More than 500,000 people have been displaced since the military coup last year. Displaced people’s severe lack of access to water, sanitation, and hygiene in Myanmar is life-threatening. With many fleeing and seeking asylum in neighboring countries, the health needs of refugees and asylum seekers cannot be ignored. Join the Migrant Health Student Group and the Center for Humanitarian Health for this important conversation.
