∎ Following the mass influx of people from Rakhain state in August 2017, ICRC identified the extra burden this placed on the existing Ministry of Health and Family Welfare MOHFW facilities, and lack of other actors providing comprehensive primary health care in Teknaf.
∎ After influx ICRC provided medical services through mobile medical team in association with BDRCS. Although the emergency phase of the response has plateaued, the need for primary health services remains high. Whilst a mobile medical service meets the emergent needs of the population during 2017-18, a more comprehensive and geographically stable service is now needed for the next phase. A fixed clinic therefore is a more sustainable way of enabling continuity of care and improve the quality of service provided.
