Abstract: The plight of Rohingya refugee in Bangladesh necessitates urgent attention to address their maternal health needs. This project aims to develop a comprehensive workbook for aid and development workers serving Rohingya refugee women, focusing on assessing available maternal health services within the camps and identifying areas for improvement. The objectives of this project are twofold: firstly, to provide aid workers with a thorough overview of existing maternal health services available in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, including antenatal, childbirth assistance, and postnatal care. Secondly, to identify gaps and deficiencies in these services through socio-cultural, economic, and infrastructural barriers that hinder access to quality healthcare for Rohingya refugee women. From the secondary scholarly literature, the project utilizes a qualitative methodology to analyze the existing maternal health services. With a human rights lens, the project paper is the guiding framework for assessing the accessibility, availability, acceptability, and quality of maternal healthcare services within Rohingya refugee camps. Through distributing this project workbook, I aspire to contribute to the broader discourse of health and rights, advocating for policies and interventions prioritizing the dignity and well-being of Rohingya refugee women in Bangladesh.
