Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of healthcare access on maternal and child mortality rates in the rural region of Kayin State, Myanmar, where disparities in healthcare services significantly affect vulnerable populations. Utilizing a cross-sectional study design from February to July 2024, the research employs both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Quantitative data is gathered from government health records and local healthcare facilities, including maternal and child mortality rates, healthcare facility availability, and healthcare worker distribution. Qualitative insights are obtained through semi-structured interviews with healthcare providers, mothers, and local stakeholders, focusing on barriers to healthcare access. The findings reveal alarming maternal mortality rates of 250 per 100,000 live births and child mortality rates of 80 per 1,000 live births in rural areas, compared to urban counterparts. Major barriers identified include geographic isolation, economic challenges, and cultural factors limiting healthcare utilization. This study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to improve healthcare access in rural communities. Future research should investigate longitudinal impacts of healthcare interventions and the effectiveness of health education programs to further understand and mitigate healthcare disparities in rural Myanmar.
