The Government and the health partners have established a cohesive and coherent health system for Rohingya refugees/FDMNs and the host community.
The Health Sector is committed to ensuring access to quality healthcare services relevant to the prioritised needs. The first step is implementing a nationalised health service delivery/points of care. The Minimum Package of Essential Health Services shall be revised to tackle perennial problems of increased waiting time, gaps in emerging health needs, particularly Non-Communicable Diseases, Mental Health, and quality of services.
