QFFD and QRCS have launched a comprehensive health project to improve healthcare for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. This collaboration aims to ensure access to essential healthcare services and maintain round-the-clock medical care for the refugees. The project, implemented in partnership with local organization BRAC, will be run at Camp #9's Primary Health Care Center for 12 months.
The center will provide a wide range of services including outpatient clinics, 24/7 emergency care, inpatient care, maternal care, vaccinations, laboratory testing, medications, treatment for both communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), mental health support, and ambulance and referral services.
A special focus of the project is on maternal and child health, with regular checkups, medication provision, health guidelines, and education on danger signs during and after pregnancy. The center also offers family planning services and promotes proper nutrition practices for mothers and children. Other activities include public health education, early detection of medical issues, patient guidance, disease prevention measures, and readiness for potential epidemics and health risks.
