BBHC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-religious, and nonpolitical humanitarian organization seeking to provide medical assistance to those in under served places in Myanmar (Burma).
Our clinics offer year-round access to basic health care needs. With an emphasis on diagnosis, treatment, health education and training we hope to change the scenario in Myanmar where poor patients are unable to find or bear the high cost of treatment.
By establishing a network of long term, transparently run clinics we can help those who currently have limited or non-existent access to, or the ability to pay for, health care. To achieve this, BBHC draws from the Burmese medical community and offers both training and financial support.

Relief activity report from returning BBHC staff.
Friday May 23rd, 2008
BBHC team is in Burma & has set up 8 emergency clinic sites in South & North Dagon Townships that are providing acute medical care for the recently homeless and injured cyclone victims. The teams consisting of 20 doctors & 20 non medical volunteers are providing acute medical care as well as surveillance to prevent outbreak of infectious diseases. To date we have treated over 2000 patients. We are also focusing on heavily damaged areas in the Delta region where there has been little or no assistance. We are closely collaborating with our partners both inside and outside Burma. This will allow for distribution of Water Purification tabs and Anti Malaria & Cholera, other essential medications & other basic necessities. Our efforts in the Delta will be updated in due course
Thank You for all you support
Jalin, Robert and the BBHC staff
