YANGON (NYTIMES) - First, the junta stole Myanmar s elected leaders from the people. Now, doctors say, the generals have taken the oxygen that some citizens need to breathe.

The clinics are staffed largely by doctors who oppose the army s takeover and refuse to work in state hospitals. Basic medical care for Covid-19 patients has been turned into an illegal act, said Dr Min Han, a doctor at a private clinic.
