Abstract

Myanmar is the largest country in mainland southeast Asia and is marked by significant geographic and ethnic diversity between regions. Recently emerging from political and economic isolation, the healthcare system is

The paper will discuss how, through collaboration and partnership with international non-profit community based organizations, the Mandalay eye bank will transition towards eventual self-sufficiency.
