Medical Clinic Project, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, for Rohingya Refugees
The project goal is to provide emergency health care services for Rohingya refugees and surrounding host communities with a special concentration on maternal and newborn child health.
Over 50% of the newly arrived Rohingya in Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh, are women and girls; 15-20% of whom are pregnant and lactating. Medical and health facilities established for the refugees were previously located far away with inadequate maternal, reproductive, and child healthcare.
The Unforgotten has partnered with Global One who initiated a project focusing on women health needs for the Rohingya Refugees.
- Project Cost: $50,456 USD of which The Unforgotten is funding $24,000 and Global One is funding $26,456
- Number of Beneficiaries: 100 to 150 patients per day (6000+ population served)
- Project Timeline: start October 2019, completion October 2020.
- Initial site visit: September 2019. Next site visit: June 2020
Goals:
- Reduce maternal and infant mortality rates
- Improve services for mothers and their newborns, sexual and reproductive health care
- Train local Rohingya on primary preventive healthcare and midwifery

We collectively need to raise about $5,000 USD a month to sustain one clinic. The need is tremendous; only one in five children is born in a medical facility. We need your generous donations to keep our project going so please consider supporting these women bringing life in such unimaginable conditions.
