FOREWORD
Essential Medicines are those that
satisfy the priority health care needs of the
population and these medicines are
intended to be available within the context
of functioning health systems at all times
in adequate amounts, in the appropriate
dosage forms, with assured quality, adequate information,
at a price the individual and the community can afford.
To follow the concepts of essential medicines and
rational use of medicines, Myanmar Essential Medicines
Project developed Standard Treatment Guideline for Basic
Health Staff and National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM).
Myanmar Essential Medicines Project has been
implementing in collaboration with WHO since 1988.
There are five categories of medicines in NLEM (2016)
which are based on the professional level of health care
providers. NLEM (2016) is the result of detailed revision by
many experts such as professors from related fields, state
and regional health directors, and programme managers.
NLEM Myanmar 2016

The new edition of National List of Essential Medicines

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) is

now becoming very important not only for procurement but
also for health care providers to do as a reference which
level should use what kind of medicines in the health system.
A limited range of carefully selected essential
medicines leads to better health care, better drug
management, and lower costs.
Essential medicines are those that satisfy the priority
health care needs of the population and intended to be
available within the context of functioning health systems
at all times, in adequate amounts, in the appropriate dosage
forms, with assured quality, and at a price the individual and
the community can afford.
Revision of NLEM was based the four important
documents such as National List of Essential and
Complementary Medicines and Vaccines for Myanmar
(2010), Thai Essential Medicines List (2012), WHO Model
List of Essential Medicines 18th edition, WHO Model list of
Essential Medicines for Children 3rd edition.

format of NLEM was developed based on the three major
documents such as National List of Essential and
(2010), WHO Model List of Essential Medicines 18 th edition,
WHO Model list of Essential Medicines for Children 3rd
edition.
NLEM Myanmar 2016 4
In July 2013, the modified format of NLEM was

distributed to all directors of central hospitals, directors of
States and Regions, all project managers to make deletion
or changing of items, inclusion or adding of items and
justification for every changes via email.
In September 2013, workshop for deliberation on
evidence based criteria for addition and deletion of items
with external consultant from Thailand, Task Force
Committee Members, all Professor and Heads (Clinicians)
from every discipline was conducted in Ministry of Health &
Sports.
During the workshop, intensively discussed the
current situation of medicines issues which were found in
every health facilities and drug resistant condition. Due to
difficulty in timely getting of the data concerning the evidence
base, cost effectiveness, epidemiological information on
disease burden, current usage assessment, and the advice
of Thai Consultant, Thai National List of Essential Medicines
was decided to be adopted.
In March 2014, the 2nd time Task Force Committee
meeting was held in the University of Medicine 1, Yangon
and reviewed again. Discussion the final draft of NLEM
(revised) in Drug Advisory Committee (DAC) meeting was
