Two private hospitals in Mandalay, which have been closed for more than a year, reopened on January 18 and began providing medical treatment, sources said.

Of the three private hospitals in Mandalay whose licenses have been canceled and closed since January 1, 2023, the two hospitals that have now reopened are City Hospital located on Science Street between 65 and 66 Streets and Kant Kaw Hospital located on 34th Street between 78 and 79 Streets. The City Hospital's Facebook page announced about the re-opening of the hospital that the City Hospital has reopened on January 18 with better health services.

In addition, it was found that Kant Kaw Hospital has announced that since January 18, their medical treatment activities are being carried out as usual.

At the beginning of 2023, the hospital business licenses of three private hospitals from Mandalay: Palace Hospital, City Hospital and Kant Kaw Hospital have been canceled and closed. The cancellation of the business license of the three hospitals was announced by the Private Health Center on May 15.

In this statement, in accordance with the instructions of the Mahaaungmye District Administration Council of Mandalay Region, Palace Hospital, City Hospital and Kant Kaw Hospital, which has been closed due to the failure of hospital license holders to comply with the licensing rules in Section 19 (a) of the Health Business Law and according to the decision of the Private Health Business Central Group (1/2023) meeting held on February 13, 2023, the business license of these three hospitals has been canceled from January 1, 2023.

"When the hospital business licenses were canceled, it was three hospitals. Two of them have the opportunity to reopen. As for the Palace Hospital, it is not yet known exactly whether it will be allowed to reopen," said a doctor from a private hospital.
