MSF has been in Bangladesh since 1992

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.
