The National Unity Government (NUG) has completed the construction of a total of 10 underground hospitals across Myanmar, said Dr. Daw Shwe Po, Union Minister of Health of the NUG, in an exclusive interview with Mizzima. Parts 1 and 2 of the exclusive interview with Union Minister Dr. Daw Shwe Po will be broadcast by Mizzima on July 18 (Saturday) and July 19 (Sunday). These underground hospitals were initiated in 2024 when Dr. Zaw Wai Soe was the Union Minister of Health and were built with international donations. "As of now, a total of 10 underground hospitals have been completed across Myanmar. Some hospitals have already started operating, while others are in the final stages of construction or are being equipped with medical supplies," said Union Minister Dr. Daw Shwe Po. Previously, in June 2025, U Ne Phone Lat, spokesperson for the NUG Prime Minister's Office, told Mizzima that eight bomb-resistant underground hospitals were planned for controlled areas, and construction had begun on two of them. However, the number of completed hospitals has now reached 10. The NUG has explained that these underground hospitals are being implemented to provide safe healthcare services, as the military junta is deliberately targeting not only schools but also hospitals and clinics. According to human rights violation records dated July 5 from the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), 88 innocent civilians nationwide were killed and 191 were injured due to airstrikes by the coup military junta during the month of June. The AAPP's statement indicates that a total of 67 civilians (28 women and 39 men) were confirmed to have died due to the terrorist killings by the military junta in June, including nine children under the age of 18. Of those confirmed dead, 46 died due to airstrikes, and efforts are underway to collect and confirm the list of the remaining 88 victims of airstrikes.

多角的分析
直接の経済ニュースではありませんが、治安と司法の信頼は地域経済の土台です。職場での暴力や未成年者保護への不安が強まると、夜間営業、観光、雇用、地域サービス業のリスク認識が高まります。
投資家目線では、個別事件よりも法執行の予見可能性が焦点です。加害者への対応が曖昧になれば、ローカルビジネスの統治リスクや従業員保護の弱さとして評価されやすくなります。
地下病院の現場では、医療を「個人間の事件」で片づけず、誰が守り、誰が説明するのかを可視化する圧力が強まります。軍の動きは、被害者側が孤立しやすい環境で、沈黙より手続きを選ぶための足場になります。
市民にとっては、自分や家族が被害に遭った時に公正な手続きへアクセスできるのかが最大の関心です。地域団体が声を上げることで、事件の風化を防ぎ、被害者側の孤立を和らげる意味があります。
背景・歴史的文脈
このニュースは、ミャンマーの地域社会で法の支配と弱者保護がどこまで機能しているかを映す事案です。暴力事件そのものに加え、女性団体や市民社会が司法手続きを求めて声を上げている点が重要です。軍政下では警察・司法への信頼が揺らぎやすく、個別事件が地域の不安や統治への不信に直結します。
