In the densely populated camps of Cox's Bazar, diseases like tuberculosis, measles, and respiratory infections spread quickly. Getting to a doctor means walking miles over hilly terrain while already sick, or while heavily pregnant. These are everyday realities for over a million people.

Since 2017, BRAC has been one of the most consistent healthcare providers in the camps. Through dozens of primary health centers, BRAC delivers outpatient and inpatient care, lab services, mental healthcare, nutrition support, prenatal and postnatal care, and sexual and reproductive health services. To date, BRAC facilities have delivered 2.7 million outpatient consultations. Babies are born in BRAC centers every day.

This video is part of A week with the Rohingya, our campaign running June 12–18 in recognition of World Refugee Day. Each day, our colleagues Uday and Sidra are taking you inside a different aspect of daily life in Cox's Bazar, home to the world's largest refugee camp, where over a million Rohingya refugees shelter. BRAC has the largest presence of any NGO in these camps, and 100% of gifts to this campaign go directly to BRAC programming there.

Follow along as our colleagues take you inside the refugee camps in Cox's Bazar for A Week with the Rohingya.
