Description
This study explores the health-seeking behavior of local migrant workers in
Shwe Pyi Thar Township, Yangon, an industrial area attracting rural migrants with
job opportunities and low-cost housing. Despite good access to healthcare facilities,
many migrants face financial barriers, leading them to rely on self-medication or
pharmacies for minor illnesses. A survey of 200 randomly selected workers revealed
that most were young, factory or informal workers with limited incomes. Preventive
healthcare use was low, and traditional beliefs like astrology and protective charms
remained common. Awareness and enrollment in health insurance and social security
programs were limited. Although attitudes toward modern healthcare were generally
positive, challenges such as cost, lack of information, and limited support reduced
healthcare utilization. The study emphasizes the need for improved health education,
affordable medical services, and inclusive healthcare policies to enhance the well
being of migrant workers in urban industrial zones.
