Foreword
Reaffirming Our Commitment to Health, Equity, and Humanity
The year 2026 marks a defining chapter in Heartland Union's journey towards equitable and accessible healthcare for conflict-affected communities in Myanmar. Amidst continuing insecurity, displacement, and disrupted health systems, our commitment remains steadfast: to ensure that vulnerable populations are not left behind.
A significant milestone this year has been the launch of catch-up immunisation activities, extending essential protection to children who have missed routine vaccinations. Beyond vaccine delivery, this initiative reflects our determination to restore continuity of care, strengthen community trust and reinforce locally led health services.
Alongside immunisation, Heartland Union continues to advance maternal, newborn and child health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and integrated community-based healthcare, recognising that sustainable health outcomes require inclusive and coordinated approaches.
Our progress reflects the dedication of frontline health workers, community volunteers, local partners and supporting organisations whose collective efforts enable essential healthcare to reach underserved communities despite considerable challenges.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to strengthening community resilience, expanding equitable access to essential services and upholding the principles of humanity, accountability and dignity.
Because access to healthcare should never be determined by geography, conflict or circumstance.
