In 2025, our health services reached thousands of vulnerable individuals through sustained clinical care and community health support. A total of 26,041 consultations were provided, including treatment for 9,095 acute respiratory infections, 3,900 skin disease cases, 3,703 acute watery diarrhoea cases, and 1,025 non-communicable disease patients. We also served 963 dental patients, provided lab services to 1,826 patients, managed 169 emergency cases, and referred 114 patients for advanced care.
Our 8 Learning Centers continued running smoothly reaching 640 learners. 303 boys & 337 girls.
Maternal and family health services continued, including antenatal care (10 cases), postnatal care (9 cases), and 162 family planning consultations.
Coordination and Community Health
Throughout the year, we actively participated in health sector coordination meetings with government authorities, camp management, and humanitarian partners to strengthen referrals, preparedness, and service delivery in refugee camps and host communities.
Community awareness sessions focused on acute watery diarrhoea prevention, handwashing, vaccination awareness, and disease prevention, helping families adopt safer health practices.
Our partnership with World Health Organization remained essential, with support through medical supplies, emergency preparedness resources, and staff training.
Capacity Building and Safeguarding
Staff received training in triage, laboratory practice, disease management, and emergency response, including fire safety simulation exercises. We also remained active in safeguarding efforts through participation in the PSEA Network, ensuring accountability and protection for beneficiaries.
Host Community Outreach
Health camps in surrounding host communities treated 460 patients, extending access to essential healthcare beyond the camps.
Emergency Response
A major fire on 26 December 2025 destroyed the OBAT Helpers Health Post in Camp 4, causing severe losses in medicines, equipment, and infrastructure. Despite this, services resumed within two days using temporary tents and donated supplies, ensuring uninterrupted care.
Key Challenges
Major challenges included infrastructure loss from the fire, medicine shortages following new refugee arrivals, difficult logistics in remote camp areas, staffing limitations, and national political instability affecting transportation and supply delivery.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Our priorities for 2026 include rebuilding the Camp 4 health post, strengthening emergency preparedness, expanding outreach to underserved populations, continuing host community health camps, investing in staff training, and deepening partnerships with health sector stakeholders.
We remain deeply grateful for donor support, which makes it possible to continue serving vulnerable communities with essential healthcare
