Best Health Insurance in Myanmar
6 insurers ranked and reviewed Β· Updated May 2026
Healthcare System Overview
Myanmar's insurance market was a state monopoly until 2013 when the government began liberalizing the sector. Health insurance penetration remains extremely low (the market was ~US$1.17 million in gross written premium in 2024). Myanma Insurance (state-owned) was historically the sole insurer. Since liberalization, private domestic and foreign insurers have entered, but political instability since the 2021 coup has severely impacted market development. Foreign life insurers (AIA, Dai-ichi, Manulife) were licensed in 2019-2020.
