Myanmar is experiencing widespread and severe mental health and psychosocial support

The population of #Myanmar is experiencing widespread and severe mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) needs driven by decades of conflict and political instability. 

➡️ The full spectrum of MHPSS services in Myanmar is historically under-resourced, largely available only in urban areas, and poorly integrated into primary healthcare, leaving rural and conflict-affected populations with especially limited access.

➡️ Since 2021, at least 1,900 incidents of violence against the healthcare system have been reported across Myanmar, and the destruction of infrastructure and obstruction of services have significantly reduced healthcare access, including to MHPSS services.
