as a burmese citizen myself, i do not wish to get hospitilized at the public hospital since the place looks unclean and crowded despite the free treatments there.

This is one of the great advantages of having a public healthcare system in a country. Brazil is one of them. For example, despite having several problems, any Brazilian citizen or tourist will be treated free of charge in a public hospital or public health clinic.

[@1312Mork2]

How is it with waiting times to get treatment, do you have to wait long time in the public hospitals?

[@catianefreitas5894]

@@1312Mork2 First access, especially in cases of urgency and emergency, is in most cases simpler and faster. However, more complex exams and surgical procedures can take a long time. Brazil is a giant, and the structure of the healthcare system can vary from place to place. We are far from perfect, we have several problems with structure, inputs, lack of professionals. but having a public health system makes a difference, especially for the poorest people.

Hello Luke....Mingalaba Tes vidéos sont faites avec naturel et tu n'es pas comme certains qui épinglent le Myanmar comme pays visité comme par exemple Noel Philips qui atterrit à Yangon ,passe une nuit sans sortir de l'hôtel puis repart à l'aéroport dès le lendemain matin. Je te découvre aujourd'hui sur plusieurs de tes vidéos du Myanmar. Je connais ce pays plusieurs fois visités , ma guide du 1er voyage Birmane Arakhanaise est aujourd'hui mon épouse. J'apprécie ta façon de voyager. Tu me rappelles Harry Jaggard , tes expressions un peu similaires , ton accent plus british qu'Australien. Sur cette période de guerre civile , tu vas explorer tout ce qui est possible. Heureux de savoir que tu vas bien après ces passages à l'hôpital. Ton nombre d'abonnés est mérité.

This is the one of the most equipped government hospital in myanmar. Other government hospitals are in way worse condition. Apart from unable to supply personal utilities in hospital and lack of privacy, treatment and consultations are rather good. I was one of the doctors working in that hospital way before the coup. I know how uncomfortable for the patients to be in the position as yours. But we try our best.

tbh, burmeses are those who pay attention to visitors and want to be a good host.,not only like you as a tourist coming from other country but for those who make a visit from different town, do the same of hosting, making good food, welcoming, even they are broke. I have a lot of same experiences of such helping and welcoming while visting a new place even they dun know me well. That is like some kind of tradition and behavior learning from generation to generation. If no coup, this is a very nice country and well worth to visit. Now, sad but it's true that we (Burmese from all over the world) miss home, a lot. 💔 Hope you have a chance to visit after all these situation over, mate. 🤜🤛

He couldn't. It was nearly the curfew time plus the hotel already asked the other doctors and private hospitals and they sent him to the government one because of his symptoms.

[@chrysannmc]

The police there are not for the security of the hospital. They are called the "Criminal Record Department". Only the Public Hospital has the authority to take care of crime injuries. For example, if you were in a bar fight and got injured, went to a private hospital and told what happened, they will send you to a public hospital because it's a crime-related injury.

Since this seems somewhat relevant, PLEASE get insurance. Last 2 weeks I went to Thailand, had food poisoning. Went to a hospital and had to pay 7000 baht (or RM900 in malaysian money where im from, or 200 USD , or 193 Euro.) Which seems a little but its actually a lot. The same treatment would have costed me only RM1, or 22 cents Euro or 24 US cents, back in my home country. Insurance may not seem needed, but you never know what's going to happen. Plus it's super cheap. Insurance from Etiqa (which is one of the major insurance firms here) is only RM30, around 7 USD or 6 Euro. So please get insurance as it's even affordable. Don't be a cheapskate and risk it
