YANGON Myanmar’s military coup leader said his regime will take action against government healthcare workers who have refused to work for the military junta.
In his latest warning, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing decried the fact that nearly one-third of Myanmar’s public hospitals have been no longer in function for nearly three weeks.
Following the coup on Feb. 1, many doctors, nurses and others in the country’s health sector have been on strike, taking part in what is popularly known as the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM). The healthcare workers condemned the takeover, demanded that the regime release the country’s detained leaders the President U Win Myint and the State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and denounced military rule.
