OBAT’s’ primary health clinic provides preventive, promotive and curative services along with simple diagnostic investigations and access to referral facilities. The Health Center in camp 4 is known as the “Famous Clinic” within the community. We offer a full range of compassionate and comprehensive medical care including dental and maternal care as well as access to a fully stocked pharmacy.
Thousands of deaths and hundreds of maternal deaths have been reported by health agencies working in Cox’s Bazar since August 2017. Mortality audit has shown that some of these deaths could have been prevented by timely access to healthcare.
Due to challenging terrain, overcrowding, limited lighting, and limited 24/7 services in the camps, emergency medical referrals are difficult to coordinate. Many areas of the camp are an hour or more by foot from the nearest tertiary level health facility, almost all of which are located outside the camp boundaries. OBAT operates two ambulances for transporting medical referrals.
The services provided at the clinic include:
- Emergency Department
- Fully-stocked Pharmacy
- Maternity Ward
- Dental Unit (supported by Refugee Crisis Foundation)
- 8 Outpatient Rooms
- Lab Testing
