A hallmark of Project HANDS has always been the ability to adapt to changing needs and circumstances.
The uncertainty brought on by COVID-19 required us to temporarily pause our established outreach programs that require team travel, and explore a new way to fulfill our objective of facilitating healthcare in remote, under-served communities.
The Physician Incentive Program offers a financial incentive for Myanmar physicians to work in remote areas and serve our target demographic.
Rural physicians earn a monthly salary of US$150. This program supplements their income to help cover the cost of living, and to purchase vital medical equipment and supplies. Since 2020, more than 157,000 patients have received medical attention from 7 doctors working in extremely challenging conditions.
“I really thank Project HANDS. Recently I have two major projects. The first is to modify the outdated main building and beautify the hospital. The second is to gain trust from the people in the village. I think that I am succeeding. This is the impact of Project HANDS.”
