Does Myanmar lead the world or lag far behind?

The new UNAIDS global report says on page 33:

"Among low- and middle-income countries, Brazil, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar and the Republic of Moldova have achieved viral suppression for more than 80% of people receiving antiretroviral therapy."

But a kind of cascade diagram on the AIDS Data Hub website shows much lower coverage.

Which one is correct? Does Myanmar lead the world in viral load monitoring among poor countries? Or does it lag far behind?
