MAFP organized a webinar in the afternoon of the World Family Doctor Day to celebrate this international event with Myanmar family doctors.

The MAFP is moving forward under the family medicine development program by opening an academic family medicine clinic in Yangon.

The first face-to-face WONCA Asia Pacific Regional Conference was held in Bali from December 5 to 7, 2022 since COVID-19 pandemic started. Dr Mya Win Hnit, a faculty of Myanmar Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP) attended the WONCA APR Bali Conference as the only delegate from Myanmar.

The Myanmar Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP), in cooperation with the General Practitioners’ Society, and with the generous support of the Shin Kong Life Foundation and Shin Kong Hospital, were pleased to present a Continuing Medical Education webinar for primary care doctors to discuss the evolving landscape of COVID-19 management.

As many family doctor organizations around the world were celebrating the World Family Doctor Day (WFDD)2022 on May 19, MAFP organized a webinar for Myanmar family doctors to participate in this auspicious event same day.

The first batch of patient information flyers were published by the Patient Empowerment Program of MAFP. These flyers carry the comprehensive information on Coronary Artery Disease, DASH Diet, Gout and Low-Purine Diet, and G6PD Deficiency.

As Myanmar is facing a substantial growth of COVID-19 cases, the general practitioners are again bracing themselves to put down the impact of the pandemic at the grass root level.

The MAFP is working with other societies or institutions which have objectives similar to or compatible with its own. Z-waka is an IT company which is trying to enable clinics in low resource settings to provide affordable quality healthcare through practice management tools including Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.

The objective of this project is to hasten the readiness of the patients for more participatory clinical management, and to happen effective shared-decision making processes between doctors and patients.

Shin Kong Life Foundation, Taiwan, donated 10-Liter Oxygen concentrators to MAFP to be used in treating COVID-19 patients.
