'For 30 plus days we were never ever safe'. Sky's Chief Correspondent ramsaysky and his team lived undercover for a month to create a special report about the brutal civil war in Myanmar. He tells KayBurley what it was like👇 Latest: 📺 Sky 501
The jungle is silent. I'm asleep, cocooned in a mosquito net on the floor of a wooden pagoda. Beneath me, lies a steep hill which conceals a secret frontline hospital in Myanmar.
Drips are attached and he is stabilised. The silence is broken only by his low moans as the bandages that have kept him alive are removed.The chief surgeon, Dr Myo Khant Ko Ko, 37, appears in a green tracksuit and his trademark sliders. A flamboyant figure, he was a surgeon at a top hospital in Yangon, the country's largest city.
This is a fight for life, and the odds are stacked against them, but every day - here in this hidden hospital - miracles happen. While the surgeons prepare, the staff gather the surgical implements. They will stay here for hours working on the patient. Now, the country is effectively in full civil war. But the plight of Myanmar's people has been overshadowed by the war in Ukraine, with the international community failing to supply military aid or assistance to a resistance they claim to support. Little foreign aid is making its way into the country. Huge numbers of displaced people are now living in bamboo and tarpaulin shelters in self-built camps.
Then the patient needs blood. The anaesthetist calls out the door for Kim, a co-founder of the hospital, to"get blood" in no uncertain terms. The families of patients are woken up to ask if they can donate. The hospital's security guards are sent into the closest village to find more blood. The teenager survives, he will live. The three founders of the hospital, Dr Paung, Mr Kim and Miss Linn are all young, talented and incredibly brave.
