There has been significant magnitude of problems of diabetes in Myanmar, according to the estimates of
International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the recent National Survey on the prevalence of diabetes. There has
been a wide gap of equity between the urban and rural healthcare delivery for diabetes. Myanmar Diabetes Care
Model (MMDCM) aims to deliver equitable diabetes care throughout the country, to stem the tide of rising burden of
diabetes and also to facilitate to achieve the targets of the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of
NCDs (2013-2020). It is aimed to deliver standard of care for diabetes through the health system strengthening at all
level. MMDCM was developed based on the available health system, resources and the country's need.
