Doha, Qatar witnessed a joint effort by Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) and Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) to support healthcare for Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar and Bhasan Char, Bangladesh. The healthcare project, implemented by QRCS in collaboration with Bangladesh-based BRAC International, has been operational for five months. It aims to improve access to essential health care services for the Rohingya community.
The project offers a range of primary health care services which include medical consultations, maternal and child health, chronic disease follow-up, mental health and psychosocial support, community health education, and the identification and referral of patients needing specialized care. QRCS places particular emphasis on under-five children and women of reproductive age, recognizing the critical need for accessible healthcare services tailored to the unique requirements of these vulnerable groups.
As of September 2026, the project had benefited 10,937 refugees, exceeding the target of 20,135 beneficiaries over the one-year project period. This initiative exemplifies QFFD and QRCS's commitment to leveraging their partnership to provide vital humanitarian services to the most vulnerable populations in crisis situations.
