In Northern Shan State, Myanmar, Dr Aung Ko Myat is a medical team leader working for Karuna Mission Social Solidarity (KMSS), a local pastoral organization supported by the International Rescue Committee (IRC). A local man from Northern State and part of the community he serves, Dr Aung is dedicated to helping others in his community. He works around the clock to provide services to communities who have been cut off from healthcare since the conflict in Myanmar escalated.

Despite facing countless hurdles, this all-women team of medical doctors brave long distances and treacherous terrain to bring healthcare to the remotest villages in Afghanistan, reaching women who haven’t had access to health services in up to 50 years.
