WHO estimated that probability of dying between age 30 years old and 70 years old in South East Asia region from four major NCDs was about 23.2% in 2015. Myanmar is a developing country along with demographic and epidemiological transitions, and now facing with double burdens of both communicable and non-communicable diseases due to socioeconomic and life style changes.
