LoginQFFD, QRCS Launch Comprehensive Health Project to Enhance Healthcare for Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh
Doha, August 23 (QNA) - Driven by their firm commitment to humanitarian work and alleviating the suffering of the most vulnerable populations, Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), in cooperation with Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS), has launched a health project in Bangladesh.
The initiative aims to enhance Rohingya refugees' access to essential healthcare services and ensure the uninterrupted provision of around-the-clock medical care.
This joint project embodies the strategic partnership between both parties to support international humanitarian efforts. Implemented in collaboration with the local partner, BRAC, the project will deliver its services through the Primary Health Care Center at Camp #9 to approximately 33,850 refugees over 12 months.
The host health center provides a comprehensive package of medical services, including outpatient clinics, 24/7 emergency services, inpatient care, prenatal and postnatal maternal care, natural childbirth, vaccinations, and laboratory testing.
Additionally, the project ensures the provision of essential medications, treatment for communicable and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and mental health and psychosocial support services, as well as the operation of ambulance and medical referral systems.
Special emphasis is put on maternal and child health, by monitoring pregnancies, conducting periodic checkups, providing essential medications and health guidelines, and raising awareness about danger signs during and after pregnancy.
Furthermore, the center offers family planning services and promotes awareness of proper nutrition practices for mothers and children.
Other activities of the project include public health education, early detection of medical conditions, guidance of patients to the right services, enhancement of disease prevention measures, and preparedness for potential epidemics and health risks. (QNA)
