MANDALAY DIVISION – After the arrest of two CDM doctors, Mandalay’s famous private hospital, Mingalar Hospital, had been pressured by the military council to close for three months starting next Friday.
A CDM doctor in Mandalay said that there are currently no CDM health workers employed at Mingalar Hospital. However, this action was taken retroactively in connection with the arrest of two doctors early this year.
The two CDM specialists arrested in the beginning of this year were a paediatrician and an oncologist.
“It was like taking action with the back date,” commented a CDM doctor source in Mandalay regarding the military council’s pressure on the hospital.
At the end of 2022, before ordering for temporary closure of Mingalar Hospital, Mandalay’s famous hospitals such as Kant Kaw, The Palace, The Capital, Htet Ne Lin and Sein Pang Hospitals were also ordered to pause operation.
These hospitals were allegedly forced to cease their operations by the military council on allegations that they employed CDM health professionals.
Besides private hospitals, multiple clinics were also forcefully shut down after the coup in Mandalay.
