Under Basic Needs, providing Health Care is an area where PTTEP Myanmar Asset is proud to support. PTTEP has been working together with the local health department to organize “Mobile Health Check” project, aimed at providing primary medical services free of charge to people living in rural areas with a lack of access to public healthcare in Myanmar.
Recently, the world has been hit hard by Covid-19 outbreaks and in order to support the communities, PTTEP Myanmar Asset has announced it will contribute 30,000 USD at this time, for front-line caregivers in Myanmar. The fund is aimed at providing medical supplies to hospitals that are working relentlessly to contain and fight against the spread of COVID-19.

This was made to the Navy Military Hospital, Yephyu Township along with the financial contribution of 2,400 USD (3,360,000 MMK) to Covid-19 Facility Quarantine Centres in Kanbauk and Dawei Township. Additionally, PTTEP Myanmar Asset plans to contribute additional 2,000 USD (2,800,000 MMK) for emergency relief rice sacks in case of lockdown in Kanbauk area.
