Summary
DKT Myanmar is in the process of developing programming to address these issues and provide access to a full range of affordable family-planning options.Program goals
DKT is in the early stages of establishing a program in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). Myanmar’s population is estimated at 54 million. At 200 per 100,000 live births, the maternal mortality rate is higher than in a number of other countries in the region, and there is widespread belief that this number is actually higher. More than two-thirds of Myanmar’s population lives in rural communities, and 87 percent of these maternal deaths occur in rural areas.
