After announcing the decision to provide medical aid to Myanmar in May, our organization began working with partner NGOs experienced in humanitarian logistics. We also engaged in several months of negotiations and correspondence with the country’s Ministry of Health to obtain approval for acceptance of the aid materials. We established a system for receipt of the aid materials through the Myanmar Red Cross, and in early June, they were shipped by sea from the United States. With the help of trusted shipping companies and non-profit organizations, medical aid worth a total of $470,000 arrived at the port in Yangon at the end of August.
With the shipment safely delivered, a ceremony marking handover of the aid to the Myanmar Red Cross was held on September 1 at a hotel in Yangon. Representatives from the Myanmar Red Cross, local stakeholders, and ambassadors from various countries were in attendance. Following the signing ceremony, the Deputy Representative of ingo PEACE. was honored with a certificate of appreciation. The event was widely reported by the media and featured on the Myanmar Red Cross social media channels. This breakthrough achievement has paved the way for other countries and organizations to follow suit with their own support.
On October 21, after completing customs and other procedures, the aid materials were officially handed over to the Myanmar Red Cross. They are now being delivered to sites where they are needed, such as medical university hospitals and the Central Medical Stores Depot, which operates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health.
