Toyoba Begum recalls her journey to the Friendship hospital, emphasizing how critical it was for her to receive timely medical attention for her high-risk pregnancy. She expresses immense gratitude knowing that skilled healthcare professionals were there to help, contrasting the harrowing experience of her previous labor that ended in tragedy. The emotional toll of such events weighs heavily on her, as she reflects upon the deaths that have occurred in her community due to insufficient medical care.
The conditions in the refugee camps heavily impact maternal and neonatal health, with a staggering rate of maternal mortality at 295 deaths per 100,000 births. Mothers like Toyoba face numerous challenges, including accessing adequate medical facilities. While there are some efficient maternal health centers operational, many refugees do not utilize them due to various obstacles. This situation highlights systemic issues within the healthcare framework specifically designed for vulnerable populations like the Rohingya.
