Sky News has won a prestigious International Emmy Award for coverage ofthe Myanmar civil war.

Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his crew went on a month-long undercover mission embedded with the country’s secretive resistance movement.

They witnessed a remarkable effort by medics to save lives on the frontline at a secret jungle hospital, as well as undeniable evidence of war crimes.

Their piece – The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar – won in the current affairs category at the news and documentary awards, held in New York on Wednesday.

Myanmar, in southeast Asia, is embroiled in a civil war between a military junta and ethnic militia and armies.

It began when the junta seized control in 2021, leading to widespread street protests that were brutally suppressed.

Accepting the award, Ramsay thanked senior producer Dominique Van Heerden for her work on the long-running project, saying “she made it happen, she wouldn’t let it go”.

The pair were joined on stage by cameraman Richie Mockler and film editor Tom Sue Yek.

Ramsay also said he was grateful to management for being allowed to spend a month in the jungle “where there’s no way you can speak to us”.

But he saved his biggest thanks to the doctors and nurses at the hospital and the people who helped them gain access and “looked after us”.

“It was vitally important that they helped us film – but they were in so much danger because we were even there,” Ramsay said.

“It was dangerous for them, it took a long period of discussions with them to let us in.”

Sky’s chief correspondent finished with a reminder of how vital it is that journalists continue to report from places such as warzones: “If we don’t go, nobody knows what’s happening,” he told the audience.

Others nominated in the current affairs category included Brazil’s GloboNews, the BBC’s India Eye programme, and Israeli current affairs show Uvda.

Sky News also won an International Emmy Award last year for its coverage of the Ukraine War.
