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.
As the Delta variant of the coronavirus rampages through Myanmar, the military, which seized power in a February coup, has ordered that lifesaving oxygen be denied to private clinics, according to medical workers.
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.
