Above is HAEFA’s referral pathway for COVID-19 patients within the Rohingya refugee camps, and images from a factory in Dhaka that is preparing small scale PPE gown manufacturing for Bangladesh because worldwide production is not meeting the demands.
HAEFA’s healthcare professionals are working to reduce transmission of COVID-19 within the Rohingya Refugee camps and to screen, test, and refer patients who are symptomatic. The Rohingya camps are extremely vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19 due to overcrowding, unhygienic conditions, and poor nutrition.
HAEFA is raising money for buying PPE for the medical professionals who are taking care of the ICU/Quarantine Patients, and N95 masks for the regular medical professionals (including doctors, nurses, medical assistants, and ward boys) who are taking care of the admitted and out-patients in the hospitals, clinics, and in the Rohingya refugee (FDMN) camps in Bangladesh.
Today HAEFA has procured 500 N95 masks in Dhaka which will be distributed as follows: 300 to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, the largest hospital in the country, and 200 to HAEFA medical teams in the Rohingya camps. We have placed orders for 5000 N95 masks from Shenzhen China to be shipped from Hong Kong to Dhaka by March 31.
You can become a supporter and help HAEFA protect the medical professionals of Bangladesh– the frontline fighters to save lives during this coronavirus pandemic!
Your donation of $6 will buy 50 pairs of hand gloves, $20 can help purchase 10 N95 masks, and $25 can help purchase 1 full set of PPE (including gown, mask, cap, protective goggles, and shoe covers).
