Description:
The project aims to improve the health status of the Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar to reduce vulnerabilities in the refugee camps and increase the utilization of comprehensive healthcare services by targeted refugees. Health services in the Rohingya refugee camps are inadequate in addressing the health-related needs of the over 900,000 refugees.

Women and adolescent girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health services have also been affected by the COVID-19 lockdowns and reallocation of health care resources. These sexual and reproductive health gaps can result in avoidable maternal and infant mortality and long-term gynaecological health problems. There is a low level of understanding and awareness of sexual and reproductive health exacerbated by stigmatisation around family planning, contraception and menstrual hygiene management. This cultural issue limits women and girls’
