Traveling Medics Save Lives
Burma/Myanmar
Families fleeing military violence in eastern Burma hide deep in the jungle with no clinics, no roads, and no safe place to give birth. Mothers deliver babies on dirt floors without medicine or trained help. The results are devastating: 135 of every 1,000 newborns die in their first month.
That is why the Backpack Medics are indispensable. These courageous villagers walk for days through conflict zones to reach families the world cannot see. They treat malaria, deliver babies safely, and bring lifesaving medicine to the forgotten—reducing infant and maternal deaths to fewer than 2 per 1,000 births.
