hm. mm hm. this is did other news asia coming up today? me and mas military consolidates its hold over the country. the hunter announces an extension of emergency room floating a doubt when elections can actually be held. we ask what continued military rule means. and new social initiatives are bringing medical facilities and doctors to

millions of indians in the hinterland face despite the government program committed to doing the same. what has gone wrong? ah, i british manager, welcome to deed other news, asia glad you could join us. man mas drooling hunter has extended an ongoing state of emergency in the country by another 6 months on to our leader. mean on clearing . also said the elections could only be held once the country was stable and peaceful. the army seized far last year, alleging voter fraud in elections that give a nobel laureate on thanks to cheese party, a majority. since then, master league for democracy, lawmakers including sushi herself, have been detained, and prosecuted an earlier promise by the hunter to hold elections by august next

year. looks tenuous as well. the head of me and my army made his comments in an address to the nation, saying his hand had been forced by the ongoing violence in the country that i want to go dead. he made utmost efforts in discharging the state, cheated with might, and maine, but internal and external terrorists. and that conspired to persons and organizations committed to the utter devastation rather than the flourishing of democracy in me. i'm a little bit, don't you without woody teleaccount? joining me now for more is fil robertson from our human rights watch fil, an extension of emergency room for another 6 months. what does this mean for the people of muma? well, it means more violence. it means you're more human rights abuses, it means more suffering. i mean, there's no real surprise here that the state of emergency has been a standard for another 6 months in myanmar. the original structure of the qu, announcement back in february 2021, was one year state of emergency with the possibility of to 6 month extensions. and

we always thought that the generals would try to use that whole time period and quite clearly they're going to do that. and he's also talking about, or talks with a rebel groups as well. does that mean that the army is perhaps in the back foot when it comes to dealing with these armed groups? well, there's been discussions by senior gentleman online about various different cease fire discussions. even rolled that out when hunts and went to visit back in january . or the reality is that there is no real cease fire talks of any sort of significance going on right now. on the i think my armed organizations are all basically either fighting the military orse telling the military to stay out of their territory. and the pdf of course, are not backing off. so i think that we're seeing a deepening cycle of violence with probably increased human rights abuses, increased violence in the coming months, no longer and also talked about elect total reform,

or he wants to implement proportional representation system. in addition to the 1st boss, the full system, why? well, i think what he really wants to do is he wants to have an election where on sanks, which he cannot run. and ultimately, the election commission is controlled by the military. um, you know, he's tinkering around the edges with various different mechanisms of how to, you know, count the votes of proportional representation. what have you, the reality is that none of this matters because no one is going to accept an election that is done under the auspices of the military junta as either free or fair, or even remotely legitimate. ah, we expect the heat, they may try to do that, but i think actually what will happen is if they try to hold an election, given the current situation, myanmar, many of these are local militias that people's defense forces will probably end up attacking the election machinery now, given all that you have heard today,

how confident are you that the military will step down at some point in the near term to make way for a democratically elected government? for instance, ah, my assessment of the likelihood of a transition from power of voluntarily by this military council is 0. you know, the reality is that they want to continue to control power. min online was just quoted as saying that they want to quote, continue to strengthen the genuine in discipline multi party democratic system, which is the desired people. and in fact, that's not the desired, the people that desired the people as the restoration of the people that they bought for november 2020, which is on sans regina nationally for democracy. we lived there for the time being filled robertson from human rights board. thank you so much for joining us today. and you ah,

some 60 percent of india has more than 1000000000 people live in rural areas, yet their access to health care remains poor. for instance, as of 2020, there were less than full beds for every 10000 people in rural india. and it's not just beds, shortages extend to health care centers and doctors. but as the, the blue nail jory reports, new initiatives are beginning to change that the village of natal i and roger ton is home to about 1000 people for the passcode is the only doctor here. shaken, moved here from faraway bank alone, a metropolitan city. she wanted to self people, whether it's needed the most but this is a choice. few urban doctors me come in india. i mean we're one need not good level . is that the board understand the loop of it before coming here?

i was reading even thinking of medicine and i thought in what is a big dinner dr. lindsey damien is very important. so it's any. well, you know, normally changing somebody's life, you know, some, even my iron cabinet is lighted, saving and i do live safety sake. i came to this hospital through an initiative called of a rural hospital network which started in early 2022. the network is the brain child of a dr. herself who was keen to fill a deficit that's depriving millions of people off medical help in desperate his acne. it's very sad that 60 percent of our population is in durham, india, but only 30 percent of doctors walker. so there's a definite need and go to india right now. now, just for doctors look for health care professionals. what rural hospital network has done is built a database which helps health care workers find rural placements. the idea is to bring doctor's nurse this medical assistance to villages like these that otherwise run the danger of becoming medical deserts. this hospital has become an oasis

o secret on the north to say they are able to resolve 3 quarters of the communities, medical problems, right? you pull them up little as be weight patients file in and out of the hospital all day. nas last week, there was no one else wrong now with a new doctor he had oh thanks a lot better. yeah, but the so that what if they treat as no matter what time of the night or day we come that they never closed the door on us as a nick when they say, hey, every week, 2nd on her team was at nearby. we'll adjust the check children for fines of malnutrition, and they have to measure their weight and height. keep record of their growth as well as advised the mother on how to reduce the kids addiction to chips and crackers. we're not focusing on just thought, you know, how many people,

when they share what the scene really want to see the outcome. you want to actually, you know, anyone got to see the, to learn, grow up and they are growing. the hope is that the number of workers will to, to let the future of federal health care media no longer hangs in the balance. and joining me now from, or the report in northern india is dr. permits or martin. he is go founder and director of basic health care services and initiative that provides primary health care facilities in rural areas. dr. mon, in your experience, what would you say is the main challenge, rural india faces when it comes to accessing health care? so you know, in rural areas, the health facilities, the government health facilities are often very far and are often and us job and have inadequate a provision of services. therefore, people have to really travel far and get very little. on the other hand,

the private sector doesn't reach these areas because there's not much money to be made. and but that is there, that people are often left to thing for themselves, and that is our to either traditional, he knows unqualified private providers, which i had a pretty large number. i'm wondering why that is because india has had a national rural health mission in force since 2005 and this government program is meant to provide health care in rural areas. has that been a failure? no, i would not say that. what has happened is that there has been an expansion of infrastructure . there is also been an expansion of availability of drugs and supplies. in many places. there has been more people who have been engaged in the system, but there are a couple of problems. one is a design problem, one is an implementation problem. the design problem being backed in, especially in the more rural areas, people have to really walk a long distances to these, the nearest facility. so they're looking for often,

far from where the border communities live. so that's kind of on to the claim of the, of the, of the mundane across the river to region. facilities like the cities are ready by because in general, in india, and that is supposed to be at a population of 35000, not in 825000, maybe like mines. and people would not be able to reach the nearest functional facility. the other is more of an implementation problem and that problem is largely because often health providers, especially doctors, would not want to live in remote rural areas, particularly. but infrastructure is water and educational and professional opportunities are limited and that needs to get in excess. but even if i think there is available to the doctor on, or someone who's been working for what's providing healthcare in rural areas, what would you like to see happen to improve health care coverage? so i think of an important thing is to have, so this is generally people, it's anchored, it cannot be one size fits all of saying that this is the design of

a premier agent with the doctor and not to publish. and it has to be closer to where people live and the health services have to be responsive to what the communities need. in some media, for example, it's nick by it's a really common problem. then you have to address that. if people are finding it, doctors are finding it difficult to live in work and remote areas and you have to have a nurses are non positions what we call as often as mid level it providers being trained to provide services, introduce technology to ensure that the quality services reach the last minute i think in india, one of the biggest problem is that the last minute people do not want to live in book and get out there for neglect, books at the policy level and on the ground. you know the example that i gave you, that there may be no facility for 20 kilometers and you might have to blame them on the east. there you find very little people. so i think if, unless the services are more decentralized, more responsive to people's needs,

the help get in really and you would remain far from from being adequate. dr. bertram on a pleasure talking to we'll have to leave it there for the time being unfortunately . thank you. so much for joining us today. and that's it for today is of course more from the regional now website d, deborah dot com, forward slash asia, and as ever you can follow us on facebook and twitter as well. we're back tomorrow . at the same time we'll see you then bye. ah hi mike. oh, some status and it works of compose, alicia. hi, adel hitler's obsession. ah, has ever been better background music for megalomania?
