**Dear donors and friends,**
We would like to share an update from **Dr. Hla Tun** about the ongoing work at our **Bagan Clinic** in Myanmar.
Despite increasingly difficult circumstances, the clinic has continued to operate on schedule and provide essential medical care to those who need it most.
**From March to June 2026, the clinic treated a total of 2,005 patients:**
* **General patients:** 546, 228, 631, and 479 (**Total: 1,884**)
* **Dental patients:** 26, 5, 33, and 26 (**Total: 90**)
* **Surgical patients:** 11, 0, 11, and 9 (**Total: 31**)
The lower number of patients in April was due to the Myanmar New Year (Thingyan) holiday, when the clinic was closed for two weeks. In addition, the visiting surgeon from Mandalay was unable to travel to Bagan that month.
The challenges facing both our medical team and our patients continue to grow each week and each month. Even so, thanks to the dedication of our healthcare workers and your continued generosity, the clinic remains open and continues to serve vulnerable communities.
Some recent examples of the care provided include:
* Minor surgical procedures, including wound debridement.
* Financial assistance with transportation for eight poor patients who traveled long distances from Natmauk to receive medical care.
* Surgical operations performed by our visiting surgical team.
* Dental treatment for children and adults with urgent dental needs.
* Treatment for a poor farmer who had suffered from severe swelling and pain in both knees for nearly a year but could not afford medical care until he reached our clinic.
Every patient treated is a reminder that your support is making a real difference in people's lives during these very difficult times in Myanmar.
Thank you for your continued compassion and sustainable support of the Bagan Clinic. Together, we are bringing hope and healthcare to those who need it most.
With gratitude,
**MEDAID International Foundation**
