Differences in healthcare access between Rohingya refugees and their host community in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Forced migration is increasing globally and majority of the forced migrants are displaced in low- and middle-income countries. Bangladesh, which hosts about one million Rohingya refugees in one of the world's largest refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, faces challenges in ensuring equitable healthcare access for both refugees and host communities. This can create disparities in healthcare access for both the groups. Understanding the disparities is critical to aid in effective healthcare strategies that address the needs of both groups and promote social cohesion. This study investigated the differences in healthcare access between Rohingyas and their host community in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.
