Healthcare services in refugee camps along the Thailand-Myanmar border run by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) were suspended on 27 January 2025, following an order from the new United States (US) President, Donald Trump. The IRC is the main healthcare provider in the refugee camps housing refugees from Myanmar in Thailand on the border with Myanmar. The IRC gets about half of its funding from the US government and part of its work is to help resettle refugees in the US.

      As a result of the IRC’s suspension of healthcare, hospitals in the refugee camps have had to discharge all their patients except for emergency cases and stop seeing outpatients, according to healthcare officials working in the camps.
