<p>On current projections, we estimate that nearly a quarter of the bilateral allocation for DFID's work in Burma between 2011 and 2015 will support access to essential health services for maternal and child health, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and family planning. This is based on our work through the 3 millennium development goal (3MDG) fund, to which the UK has allocated up to £80 million. The 3MDG fund also supports the national response to TB and malaria in Burma and works to strengthen important systems for the delivery of health services. The UK also supports a regional project to help prevent maternal death from unwanted pregnancy, which is active in 14 countries, including Burma.</p> |
