Healthcare workers treated 3,385 people between Oct. 5 and Friday at a makeshift clinic inside the Labha Muni temple in Kyaukme Township. The Naungpeing station hospital had already restarted services on Oct. 20. Six rural health centers and township public health offices have reopened to deliver primary medical care throughout the area.

Medical teams conducted disease surveillance, maternal services, school health checks, and immunization drives across Kyaukme and neighboring villages. Special vaccination campaigns targeting children under 15 years old administered shots to 3,723 young people from Oct. 10 through Friday. The Ministry of Health continues working to expand healthcare coverage and restore essential medical services across the district.
