The Department of Public Health under the Ministry of Health announced that Myanmar and Thailand will strengthen their cooperation on cross-border healthcare.

The promotion of cross-border healthcare cooperation between Myanmar and Thailand includes the exchange of health information, joint infectious disease surveillance, prevention and control activities along the border, maternal and child healthcare initiatives, hospital medical services, collaboration on Twin Hospital Projects in border areas, and the appointment of designated representatives to coordinate efforts between hospitals in both countries.

Cross-border healthcare cooperation between Myanmar and Thailand is being implemented by the Department of Public Health under the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Economic Relations, the Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), and representatives from the Thai Embassy in Yangon.

Myanmar and Thailand have been hosting workshops on cross-border healthcare cooperation, including a meeting held in Thailand in December 2024 that reviewed the achievements, strengths, and weaknesses of the Myanmar-Thailand Three-Year Health Development Cooperation Plan (2020–2022).
