Together we raised £38223.57 (in UK and abroad). Witharkhar Foundation carried out the needs assessment at each hospital to set up a suitable sized oxygen plant for corresponding bed-sized hospitals in different parts of the country. Together, we have managed to set up 16 oxygen plants in the country. **(4) Donation of portable ventilator and repair of four ventilators at ICU, Yangon General Hospital** Newport HT 70 Plus (COVIDEN) portable ventilator was donated to the Intensive Care Unit, Yangon General Hospital on 9[th] October 2020. We learned that there were four Drager ventilators which were broken down and left to no use. Therefore, we funded the parts to replace those ventilators and now those ventilators are now in use. 6 Brighter Future Foundation ## **(5) Donation of high flow nasal oxygen concentrators and accessories** Two high flow nasal oxygen concentrators and accessories (air circuit and Optiflow interface) were procured from UK based Fisher and Paykel company on 09/11/20 and were sent to Myanmar. Those were donated to Yangon General Hospital and South Okkalapa Hospital to manage severely ill COVID-19 patients. ## **(6) Donation of oxygen cylinder trolleys** Most hospitals in Myanmar do not have liquid oxygen plants. They heavily rely on portable oxygen cylinders to treat patients who need oxygen. With an increasing number of patients requiring oxygen therapy during COVID-19, the traffic of oxygen cylinder transport around hospitals was escalating. There were some hospitals where cylinders had to be carried around. For both health and safety and logistic reasons, Brighter Future Foundation designed the cylinders carriers using a local manufacturer and donated 50 single-cylinder carriers to Yangon General Hospital as a start-up project. These carriers have eased the oxygen cylinders transport process and improved patient safety. 7 Brighter Future Foundation ## **(6) Donation of cleaning equipment** Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the number of patients turnover in Yangon General Hospital, the biggest tertiary hospital in Myanmar, became significantly high. The hospital faced a shortage of cleaning staff and cleaning equipment. Brighter Future Foundation helped the hospital by donating following cleaning equipment worth £6770. |Date

They have limited time and space to solve for their meal’s requirements. Brig hter Future Foundation sponsored part of the health care workers meals at Yangon General Hospital from 16[th] September 2020 to 6[th] February 2021.We supported 100-160 meal boxes per time, 3 times per week with a total meals of 8312. (8) **Development of MSc (Family Medicine) course in Myanmar in collaboration with the Ministry of Health & Sports, Myanmar, Royal College of General Practitioners, UK and Brighter Future Foundation** With an aid of Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCDO), UK, Brighter Future Foundation funded £19,000 to support MoHS-RCGP collaborative work for the development of MSc (Family Medicine) course, which is to be launched first time in Myanmar in April 2020. The team from RCGP visited Myanmar for the baseline assessment and provided the recommendations to the MSc Family Medicine development committee. ## **(9) Health of Older People in Yangon: A systems approach (HOPe-YGN)** This project completed quantitative data collection and one in-country visit to commence qualitative data collection. Since February 2021, this project has been on hold due to the situation in Myanmar. The UK-based research team is 9 Brighter Future Foundation in the process of analysing the data previously collected for reporting and publication. ## **2.4 Public benefits** All activities carried out by Brighter Future Foundation were carefully planned and implemented with an interest in healthcare delivery improvement for the people of the Union of Myanmar. In addition, trustees believe that the UK counterparts would gain global health experience by volunteering in Myanmar and would bring back their experience to daily work practice in the UK for improvement of the patients care in the UK. ## **3.
