Situated in the mountainous far north-west of Myanmar's Sagaing region, Naga Self-Administered Zone is one of the most remote parts of the country, and home to the Naga people, a community living on both sides of the India-Myanmar border. The MSF team is based in Lahe Town, a four-hour drive along dirt tracks from Khamti - the administrative centre of the district and the closest available airport. The only two hospitals serving the region are based in Lahe and Khamti.
