A Reproductive Health Needs Assessment in Myanmar Financial resources As mentioned earlier, availability of financial resources is a major barrier to implement reproductive health care services. The National Health Plan (1996-2001) aims to achieve equal distribution of health care through out the country. However, the resources available to it are very limited. The external support to this sector is also small (MOIP 1998b). In view of this, the health sector is considering alternative sources of financing including experimentation with community cost-sharing schemes. As reproductive health-services address critical health problems, are cost-effective and have significant externalities, the government should consider allocating larger resources to reproductive health care and additional support from international agencies needs to be mobilised for ensuring much needed improvement in reproductive health status. 88
