Study Notes
Rohingya Refugee Health Risks
- Humanitarian Crisis: Over 836,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh require humanitarian assistance.
- Limited Access to Healthcare: Refugees faced discrimination in Myanmar, with limited access to healthcare.
- Congested Living Conditions: The influx of refugees has led to overcrowded and unsanitary conditions in camps.
- Water and Sanitation Challenges: Only 30% of refugees have access to safe water and sanitation, forcing many to collect water from contaminated sources.
- Disease Outbreaks: Measles, cholera, and diphtheria outbreaks have been reported, with high rates of respiratory and skin diseases.
- Maternal and Child Health: 42,000 pregnant women, 72,000 lactating mothers, and 240,000 children under five require health assistance.
- Malnutrition and Food Security: Many refugees are malnourished, with 2,592 lactating women and 1,145 pregnant women admitted for malnutrition treatment.
- HIV Risks: Although Myanmar and Bangladesh have low HIV prevalence, the Rakhine state had the highest prevalence in 2015, increasing the risk of transmission due to sexual violence.
- Sexual Violence: Women and children are reporting sexual violence, including gang rapes, resulting in physical injuries and psychological trauma.
- Mental Health: The crisis is causing long-term psychological and social distress for many refugees, exacerbated by daily struggles for food assistance.
- Monsoon Season Threats: The upcoming monsoon season poses significant risks to the refugee population with potential flooding that could disrupt sanitation, water supply, and healthcare facilities.
Recommendations
- Scale Up Healthcare Services: There is a need to expand healthcare services, especially for essential reproductive health and child newborn care, focusing on hard-to-reach areas.
- Community Health Worker Training: Effective training for community health workers to promote hygiene, conduct home visits for pregnant women, and address mental health concerns within primary healthcare settings is essential.
- Data Collection and Dissemination: Prioritizing data collection and dissemination on health statistics is crucial for effective response during outbreaks and to understand the overall health situation.
- International Collaboration: Continued collaboration between the Bangladesh government, private sectors, and international communities is required to provide financial and humanitarian aid to improve the refugees' overall health situation.
