Attacks on Health Care in Myanmar: 24 June – 07 July 2026

Data collected by Insecurity Insight shows that since the military coup on 01 February 2021 and 23 June 2026 at least 1,948 incidents of violence against or obstruction of access to health care took place across Myanmar:

• equivalent to one attack on health care every day for more than five years
• 65% of these attacks were attributed to the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF)
• 175 health workers were killed and 932 arrested
• health facilities were damaged on at least 510 occasions

During the first year following the February 2021 military coup, most incidents affecting health care were linked to political protests. Health workers were routinely arrested and MAF frequently raided health facilities in search of pro-democracy health workers or injured protesters. Although these types of incidents have become less frequent since the initial post-coup period, health workers continue to face arrest and detention due to alleged links to the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), Health facilities are also still raided, in some cases, forcibly closed by the authorities, disrupting access to care and limiting the availability of health services. These incidents demonstrate that political targeting of health care remains an ongoing feature of the conflict despite changes in its overall dynamics.tion text here.
