Abstract

Myanmar faced unprecedented challenges during the tumultuous second wave of COVID-19 in September 2021, compounded by political upheaval following a coup. The healthcare infrastructure was severely compromised, and healthcare professionals faced persecution. This paper explores the pivotal role of telemedicine during these crisis-ridden times, using real-world experiences of patients navigating the dual crises.
