Dear friend,
HOPE has Emergency Response/Mobile Medical Teams working to train teams of 40 local health care personnel, comprised of doctors, nurses, midwives, medical students and village practitioners.
Teams are training for triage and mass casualty triage, first aid (including treatment for snake bites, expected to increase with flooding); treatment of communicable diseases, emergency childbirth deliveries and psychological first aid, and more.
These teams will help provide critical support during monsoon season, when heavy rains are expected to cause flooding likely to increase illness, injury and heavy casualties.
The primary objective of the MMTs is to deliver immediate life-saving health services and facilitate emergency referrals in the event of an emergency.
With rains starting to intermittently flood the Rohingya refugee camps, HOPE Foundation and other partners are further strengthening preventive and contingency measures to minimize the health impact of monsoons for the nearly 1.3 million vulnerable populations in Cox’s Bazar.
As part of the contingency measures, HOPE placed midwives 24/7 in all HOPE health facilities covering SRH needs for pregnant women living in the affected area.
You can help us today!!!
