I’d like to focus on two components here: 1) American Embassy, and 2) Medical Services.

Medical Services

For less serious issues:

SOS Clinic at Inya Lake Hotel (https://www.internationalsos.com/locations#Myanmar)

The daytime doctor is apparently from France. I went late afternoon and saw a very nice doctor from northern California (Dr. Chrisoph).

Consultation was about $88 (apparently this goes up after 6pm — I want to say by about $30 or so). They took my Visa credit card but changed a 5% processing fees. They have an in-house pharmacy and receptionist spoke English very well.

Contact number: 01 657 938

For serious issues:

IES (International Emergency Services) at Parami Hospital is run by Tony Owen and has a new emergency room  (https://www.facebook.com/iesparami)

Alternative:

International Clinic at Parami Hospital (Dr. Olivier), affiliation with Samitivej. 11th floor of Parami Hospital, No.60 (G-1), Parami Road, Mayangone Township, Yangon, Myanmar.

That’s apparently pretty much it for internationally-trained doctors. If worse comes to worse, Asia Royal Hospital and Victoria Hospital are fallbacks.
