YANGON, Myanmar, August 5, 2025- The National Defence and Security Council announced that Pro Tem President U Myint Swe's health is in a concerning state, and he is receiving treatment in the intensive care unit.

According to the statement, Pro Tem President U Myint Swe was readmitted to the 1,000-bed Military Hospital No. 2 on July 24, 2025, due to a decline in his health, including weight loss, loss of appetite, fever, and reduced alertness, which occurred in July.

The Pro Tem President has previously received medical treatment for Parkinson's disease and related neurological disorders. He was treated at Mount Elizabeth Medical Center in Singapore from April 15 to 19, 2024, and then at the 1,000-bed Military Hospital No. 2 from May 27 to June 18, 2024.

After his discharge, a special medical team led by Union Minister of Health Professor Dr. Thet Khaing Win continued to monitor and treat U Myint Swe.

However, as his condition did not improve, he was granted medical leave to rest and receive treatment at home starting from July 18, 2024. His health subsequently deteriorated, necessitating his return to the hospital.

Due to Pro Tem President Myint Swe's health-related leave from the National Defence and Security Council, Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has been serving as the Pro Tem President (On Duty) on the council.
