Due to the Suspension of Healthcare Services, Karenni Refugee Camp No. 1 Closes Its Clinic and Discharges Patients

Following the suspension of U.S. government funding for refugee assistance for 90 days, all health services under the International Rescue Committee (IRC) along the Thai-Myanmar border have been temporarily paused.

As a result, clinics and hospitals in refugee camps were closed, with patients discharged starting January 27. The clinic in Karenni Refugee Camp (1), located in Mae Hong Son District, Thailand, was also closed this morning, according to health workers and camp committee members.
