For the last ten years, MSF aid in Bangladesh has centered on Rohingya
refugees who have fled Myanmar for the Cox's Bazaar area of Bangladesh.
MSF provides health care and therapeutic and supplementary feeding in
Nayapara camp, home to 13,000 refugees. Continued pressure on MSF
and other aid groups to hand over projects in Rohingya refugee camps to
the Ministry of Health reflects Bangladeshi government efforts to control
– and eventually repatriate – the refugees, voluntarily or not. MSF also aids
"illegal" Rohingyas, who are considered economic migrants and not refugees,
in the Teknaf area. MSF continues to provide medical care to people in the
sub-districts of Panchari and Dighinala, in the Khagrachari district of the
Chittagong Hill Tracts, through fixed and mobile clinics focusing on malaria
diagnosis and treatment.
