The Rohingya population after the last recent influx since August 2017 became about 1 million; of which 52 percent comprises of women and girls and 55-60 percent is children. There has been a serious lacking of knowledge regarding their sexual and reproductive health rights and information among this community people, found by humanitarian organizations. And also found that the likelihood of death for the women and children is 14 times higher than a man. With immense previous experience working with Rohingya community on the Maternal, Newborn Sexual and Reproductive Health Program issues and the vast experience in community mobilization in the crisis-affected community on their rights to health, especially SRHR etc. made PHD a major actor in this project. PHD holds the highest number of CHWs (350) and largest working areas, approximately 30% of the population in the camp and host community in Ukhiya & Teknaf sub-district. These PHD-CHWs visit around 4200 houses every day. Their visits include communicating health messages and refer pregnant mothers for ANC, delivery, PNC to the nearby facilities. They also counsel for facility delivery, maternal and neonatal care, family planning, GBV, CMR, STI/RTI, adolescence by PHD.
