Implementation of Health Policies in the COVID-19 Pandemic Phases of Myanmar and How the Population Approach Influenced Their Success Rate

Khine Zin Aung et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is continuing in developing countries, and post-pandemic individuals are still suffering mentally and physically. Many researchers have tried to find the causes and risks that can impact the spread of disease. Among the causes and risks identified, socioeconomic factors and health policies played an important role in determining the transmission of the disease. However, the significance of these factors for the spread of infection is different depending on the country. In this editorial, we discuss the implementation of health policies in Myanmar and their effect on infection transmission.

Keywords: covid 19; developing countries; infection spread; public health care; public health policy.
