HEALTH SERVICES

Maternal and neonatal care

Maternal health services at MTC expanded notably between 2023 and 2024. Antenatal consultations grew from 9,733 in 2023 to 11,286 in 2024, reflecting the rising number of displaced women fleeing conflict in Burma. Family planning consultations also increased from 4,005 to 4,853, with most clients continuing to prefer injectable contraceptives, although efforts to promote long-acting methods are ongoing.

In terms of deliveries, admissions rose from 1,689 in 2023 to 1,889 in 2024, with live births at MTC increasing accordingly.

Reproductive health services continued to account for 40% of total admissions, with numbers rising from 2,907 to 3,508. Referrals of women with obstetric complications to MSGH climbed by 56%, a result of better risk detection and greater access to health insurance.

CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT CENTER

The influx of refugees has intensified pressure on education services with many migrant learning centers (MLCs) struggling to accommodate growing student numbers. Rising demand, funding constraints, and limited infrastructure have placed significant strain on MTC and its partners as they work to maintain essential education services for displaced and migrant children.

CDC stands out as a leading MLC, offering education from nursery to Grade 12, including the accredited education programs – Non-Formal Education (NFE) and General Education Development (GED) to over 1,000 students along the Thai-Myanmar border.

PROTECTION

MTC has significantly advanced its child protection and safeguarding initiatives across CBOs, CSOs, MLCs, boarding houses and early childhood development center.

As lead of the Child Safeguarding (CSG) Taskforce, MTC has organized regular coordination meetings, monitored implementation at MLCs, and facilitated core trainings on child safeguarding, abuse response, mental health, and positive discipline.

HEALTH TRAINING

Between 2023 and 2024, a total of 697 health workers from partner CBOs and EHOs participated in multiple training programs. This included 193 in maternal and child health (MCH), 214 in Level II medic training, 57 in Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EmONC), 12 in dental training, 56 in nurse aide training, 16 in clinical supervision, 69 in community health work (CHW), 18 in basic ultrasound, and 32 public health interns.
In addition, 30 students began a three-year Bachelor of Nursing program in 2023.

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

MTC released its Strategic Plan 2023 – 2025, a three-year roadmap that was in line with its sustainability framework and priorities. MTC will continue to strengthen its commitments in health, education, and protection, and strive to implement sustainable practices that will allow MTC to care for the environment, clients and staff.

MTC continues to invest in regular training for its staff to refresh existing skills and acquire new ones. This includes staff advancement training for the career progression of both clinical and non-clinical staff, and training in skills that staff need to perform their jobs more effectively.
