Description:S T R A T E G I C F O C U S
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) office was formally established at the U.S. Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar in January 2015.
CDC supports Myanmar’s focused approach to achieving its 95-95-95 targets by 2030: 95% of people with HIV are diagnosed, 95% of them receive ART, and 95% of them are virally suppressed. Through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), CDC supports the National AIDS Program, the National Health Laboratory, and other partners to develop strategies and operational guidelines for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment and to strengthen surveillance systems and laboratory systems.
In addition to strengthening Myanmar’s national HIV programs, CDC supports Myanmar in its efforts to address its tuberculosis (TB) epidemic, and in strengthening its weak health systems through critical initiatives such as the upcoming launches of the Field Epidemiology Training Program and the Myanmar-CDC.
