Myanmar Department

Background History

Before 1964, the Myanmar language studies of the Institute of Medicine was under the charge of the Myanmar language department of the Rangoon Arts and Science University. In 1964 the department of Myanmar was started at the Institute of Medicine I in Yangon, but the teaching of Myanmar language at the Institute of Medicine I was still under the management of the Rangoon Arts and Science University. At that time, U Aye Maung (Damasriya) and Daw E Kyi (M.A) were the lecturing staff of Myanmar language. Daw Kyi Kyi Win (M.A), Daw Khin Mya Nwe (M.A), U San Phaw B.A (Hons) and Daw Thein Thein were tutors assigned to tutorial duty in rotation. In 1982, the department of Myanmar (Burmese) language was assigned to the management of Ministry of Health. Since then, it has been managed by the Ministry of Health.
