Bagan Medical Clinic Opening
The Bagan Medical Clinic is open throughout the year except for one or two weeks during April because of the Water Festival and Myanmar New Year.
Doctor Hla Tun is also Chief Medical Officer aboard the 'Road to Mandalay' river cruise ship operated by Belmond. During much of the season, this ship shuttles between Shwe Kyet Yet (near Mandalay) and Bagan, mooring at Bagan (close to the Bagan Clinic) from Friday to Monday, whilst the ship's guests explore the wonders of the pagodas spread across the Bagan Plain. This allows Doctor Hla Tun to open the Bagan Clinic on Friday, Saturday and part of Sunday. Doctor Hla Tun typically sees 90 patients each day the Clinic is open. Less complex cases are seen by two other doctors.
Free Lunches
A free lunch is served to patients and their companions on the clinic days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday).
