The Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) identified 418 incidents of violence against or obstruction of health care in Myanmar in 2023. The damaging or destruction of health facilities more than tripled in 2023 compared to the previous year. More than half of the attacks occurred in Sagaing, Magway, and Mandalay, but were spread across 13 other areas.

Damage was most frequently caused by aircraft delivered explosive weapons launched by the Myanmar armed forces. In a smaller proportion of incidents, health facilities were damaged by artillery launched explosive weapons and destroyed during Myanmar armed forces arson attacks. Read more.
