Support for health workers in Burma/Myanmar

The Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK stand with their members and all healthcare professionals enduring the dangerous situation in Burma/Myanmar.

We are concerned for the safety of our colleagues as they attempt to do their jobs, just as we are for all those in Burma/Myanmar who rely upon them to protect their health and well-being. It is unacceptable that health professionals should face restrictions or violence and we support this statement from THET calling for the Burma/Myanmar armed forces and police to respect humanitarian law.
