Close up of Burmese children. \u003cbr/\u003eUnderfunded and subject to corrupt governments for decades, Myanmar's health system is woefully inadequate. \u003cbr/\u003eIt is finally getting a shot in the arm from a UNICEF-led mission that's providing  extra nutrients to children's food - but more needs to be done.\u003cbr/\u003eThis little boy lives in Yangon's poorest district. \u003cbr/\u003eThousands of children across Myanmar are suffering from malnutrition. \u003cbr/\u003eToday, more than a third of the country's young children have stunted growth due to malnutrition, while AIDS kills an estimated 18,000 people a year largely due to a lack of medicine. \u003cbr/\u003eTuberculosis is at nearly triple the global rate, while malaria is worse there than anywhere else in the region. \u003cbr/\u003eWracked by corruption and mismanagement, Myanmar's overall health care system was ranked second-worst in the world by the World Health Organisation in 2000. \u003cbr/\u003eFixing all that is broken now will be anything but easy. \u003cbr/\u003eThe United Nation's children's agency, UNICEF is working with some of the most affected children. \u003cbr/\u003eZee Phyu Kwin village is in a remote area of the Myanmar Delta where feels like time stopped decades ago. \u003cbr/\u003eNurses look as they belongs in a hospital from another era with their white caps, and crisp uniforms. \u003cbr/\u003eThe dilapidated rural health centre in Myanmar's Irrawaddy Delta offers a glimpse into the country's crumbling health system that's long been forgotten and hidden to outsiders.     \u003cbr/\u003eFor half a century, the former secretive military-run government kept the defence budget fat while other sectors were essentially ignored. \u003cbr/\u003eIt spends nearly the lowest of any country worldwide on health - less than $1 US dollars per person in 2008.  \u003cbr/\u003eBut despite this lack of resources, a tiny army of dedicated women continue to fan out across the country's vast rice basket every day. They walk, ride buses, climb inside rickety boats and hop on the back of motorbikes to reach patients who have no other source of medical care.  \u003cbr/\u003eIn collaboration with National Nutrition Centre (NNC), UNICEF started an intervention of micro-nutrient sprinkles in May-June 2012 for 3,000 children between the ages of six months and three years in Thabaung Township in Ayeyarwaddy Region. \u003cbr/\u003eThe aim was to effectively address that according to UNICEF almost the 90 % of  the children in this region have iron deficiency and other micronutrient deficiencies. \u003cbr/\u003eEi Ei Soe, 32, mother of 1, year 8-month old boy Han Min Soe became convinced of the benefits of micronutrient sprinkles as she saw its effects on her child's health after he received it as the supplement since in May and June 2012. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I feel so happy! Now my son can walk, and before he could not,\" she says. \u003cbr/\u003eKhin Aye New, 32, midwife says for the first time, there's finally reason to hope. But there is still much to be done, she says.   \u003cbr/\u003e\"There are many patients in the area but only few nurses in this centre,\" she says.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe no more than ten nurses working in this centre alone are covering a territory spanning 15 villages with 3,000 people. \u003cbr/\u003eIn addition to delivering babies, they must immunise children and treat everything from malnutrition to malaria and measles in an area where 90 percent of young kids suffer worm infestations. The work is exhausting and they know that no matter how hard they push themselves, it will never be enough to help everyone. \u003cbr/\u003eHealth Workers from Zee Phyu Kwin village distribute multinutrition sachets to all children from 2 months to 3 years to counter iron deficiency. Anaemia is a significant problem among children and pregnant women in the area.  \u003cbr/\u003eDr. Kyaw Win Sein, Nutrition Specialist for UNICEF in Myanmar says flooding in the Myanmar Delta contributes to the anaemia. \u003cbr/\u003e''Because they have problems with water sanitation, personal hygiene. Now you know that there is a lot of flooding in this area. The personal hygiene is very bad. There is a lot of worm infestation, and worm infestation contributes (to) anaemia.\" \u003cbr/\u003eHe says malnutrition is caused by the lack of food, and also social issues with breast feeding. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Malnutrition was caused by... there are three immediate causes for malnutrition. The first cause it is food shortage - food insecurity. The second one is disease, a disease outbreak can cause malnutrition. The last, and third one is very important. For this one feeds prejudices. In myanmar, breast feeding it is low, also complementary feeding is very low in Myanmar.\" \u003cbr/\u003eEach Sprinkle sachet contains vitamins and minerals which are important elements for prevention of iron deficiency anaemia and other micronutrient deficiencies among children.  \u003cbr/\u003eCommon childhood illnesses related to malnutrition have significantly declined after the distribution of micronutrient sprinkles in the village according to UNICEF. \u003cbr/\u003eBut Dr Thant Lwin says the issue of childhood malnutrition is far from resolved because most people are struggling to get by. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The first necessity is to improve the nutrition, and increase the number of fruit and vegetables eaten. However for most people, it is more important to just earn a living than have a proper nutritious food.\" \u003cbr/\u003eMyanmar was long shunned by the international community while the U.S. and others used economic sanctions to try to force the paranoid junta to clean up its dismal human rights record and allow democratic reforms to move forward. \u003cbr/\u003eDuring those years, people living in the country otherwise known as Burma suffered more and most were forced to pay for what little health care they received or do without.\u003cbr/\u003eAs international donor aid poured into nearby countries, with Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos receiving $52, $43.50 and $23 per capita respectively in 2009, Myanmar got $7.50 US dollars.  \u003cbr/\u003eBut as the country continues opening its doors to the outside world, economic sanctions are being eased and historic visits such as the one earlier this year by US President Barack Obama are symbolising the start of a new era.
