PRO Tem President U Myint Swe has been receiving regular medical treatment provided by a medical team comprising specialists as he has been suffering from psychomotor retardation and malnutrition since early 2023. According to the medical examinations, he is suffering from neurological disorders and peripheral neuropathy disease. Hence, he received a neurological medical checkup at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre in Singapore from 15 to 19 April 2024 and further medical treatments at No 2 Defence Services General Hospital (1,000-bed) from 27 May to 18 June 2024.

During the period, Pro Tem President U Myint Swe also received surgical treatment for cataracts in his right and left eyes and improved his eye sight. But, he is still suffering from peripheral neuropathy disease. As such, he is now receiving close medical treatments from a special medical team at his home after taking a medical leave from 18 June to 30 July. An eight-member special medical team led by Union Minister for Health Professor Dr Thet Khaing Win performed a medical checkup on the Pro Tem President on 30 June and 14 July. In this regard, his health condition has not improved yet. As he cannot do normal daily activities including eating food, close medical treatments are being provided for the Pro Tem President under the arrangement of the State Administration Council.
