Burma Medical Association

On June 8, 1991, the Burma Medical Association (BMA) was founded as an independent, non-profit organization by a group of health professionals from Burma under the auspices of the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (NCGUB). Doctors, nurses, and other health providers representing multiple ethnic nationalities gathered in Manerplaw, the former headquarters for the Karen National Union (KNU), to establish a forum for promoting health and human rights among displaced people from Burma.
