The emergency ward of Yangon General Hospital (YGH) has bolstered its medical staff and replenished medical supplies to provide 24 hours emergency treatment during the Thingyan Festival, according to specialist Dr Cho Zin Phoo.
During the Thingyan Festival, the emergency ward makes these preparations to ensure emergency treatment for accidents and to continue providing regular healthcare services. Furthermore, since private clinics are closed during the Thingyan Festival, YGH also prepare for patients with regular illnesses.
Additionally, as the Water Festival coincides with a period of very high temperatures, the Ministry of Health advises the public to seek shade under trees, in parks, pandals, and well-sheltered buildings from 11 am to 4 pm to avoid harmful ultraviolet rays. In addition, high alcohol levels in the body can be dangerous, so it is recommended to control alcohol consumption.
