Health inequality in Myanmar cities
I don’t know why this paper funded by USAID and the erstwhile 3MDG Fund is so well hidden. https://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-fa124-further-analysis.cfm There are great health inequalities between the rich and the poor *within* cities in Myanmar. Except in contraceptive prevalence. That is something that family planning providers can be proud of. Jamie

Dengue getting worse
Many articles by @ElevenMyanmar are confusing. In the extreme. Here I think the journalist confused dengue with dengue hemorrhagic fever. They call it DHF. Dengue *cases* in 2018 were probably 23,000 and the number of deaths from severe dengue (including dengue hemorrhagic fever or DHF), was 112. It is getting worse, not better. https://t.co/svGQ9KfxP4?amp=1 Jamie […]
