Kutupalong

Close to the Kutupalong makeshift camp in Cox’s Bazar district, MSF runs a clinic offering comprehensive basic and emergency healthcare, as well as inpatient and laboratory services to Rohingya refugees and the local community. There was a sharp increase in patient figures in the last two months of the year, due to a huge influx of Rohingya fleeing Myanmar’s northern Rakhine state. The team treated 113 violence-related injuries in November and December, including 17 with gunshot wounds. During the year, teams carried out 89,954 outpatient, 2,491 inpatient and 4,559 mental health consultations. They also treated 103 victims of sexual violence in 2016, more than double the number in 2015. In addition, 15,194 antenatal consultations were conducted.
