The speed and scale of the influx has resulted in significant humanitarian needs With GAC’s support, BRAC is helping to respond to the immediate health needs in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Project activities include: (1) upgrading and improving the health facility structures to ensure a safe space for quality health care services; (2) providing essential primary health care services as per minimum standards, including sexual and reproductive health and mental health; and (3) improving Rohingya refugees’ knowledge and access to healthcare through increased engagement in the community.
