Health Care Services To The Rohingya Refugees

Dear HOPE supporter,

We keep living a context full of challenges and achievements that we never could have envisioned with this humanitarian crisis.

The arrival of more than 800,000 Rohingya Refugees in Cox’s Bazar, fleeing violence, starvation and ethnic cleansing in Myanmar was definitly key in our work. Within days of the influx, the HOPE team mobilized to provide medical care, in particular to the women and children who make the up most of the refugee population. 

Today the crisis is a permanent situation, still very severe.

Today, providing medical access to this vulnerable population has become a key focus of our efforts through the HOPE Field Hospital for Women, operating 24/7 insede the refugee setllements.

Furthermore, we are providing care to a record number of patients at HOPE Hospital, we made great progress in constructing the HOPE Maternity and Fistula Center, expanded the reach of our Mother’s Clubs in rural communities, and we graduated new midwives who will magnify HOPE’s efforts as they return to their villages to put their new skills to work, helping women deliver safely. 

We are proud of what we continue to achieve and know that our success is owed to people like you. 

We are forever grateful for your support.

The Hope Field Hospital started small with important ambulatory services for primary care and reproductive health including diagnosis, observation, consultation, treatment and intervention.

Today, the hospital, is a place where livesaving miracles happen everyday.

Maternity services

This HOPE Field Hospital is the first field hospital for women (it is estimated that around 1M refugees are living in the Rohingya Settlements, 70% of them are women and children) staffed by national and international professionals.

The most important part of the maternity services is that this field hospital has surgical capacity.

24/7 Emergency Obstetric Care in HOPE Field Hospital for Women;

EmOC or emergency obstetric care refers to the functions necessary to save lives. 

These include:

• Administer parenteral antibiotics
• Administer parenteral oxytocic drugs
• Administer parenteral anticonvulsants for pre-eclampsia and eclampsia
• Perform manual removal of placenta
• Perform removal of retained products
• Perform assisted vaginal delivery
• Perform surgery
• Perform blood transfusions

Furthermore, pediatricians are specially educated and trained in diagnosing and treating illnesses in infants, children and adolescents.  Most important, this is a bargain by virtue of the illnesses and injuries that are prevented, keeping the child healthy potentially for a lifetime.

Neonatal care 

The importance of an onsite NeonatalCare Unit is key in delivering a healthy baby. Pregnancy and childbirth are important steps in any family's life. Childbirth, especially, is a complex process that requires a great deal of physical and emotional strength from both mother and baby.

The HOPE Field Hospital for Women provides around-the-clock care to sick or premature babies. 

All of this is possible because of generous people, like yourself.
