The UK is supporting partners including the World Health Organisation and the United Nations Population Fund to deliver the Minimum Initial Service Package for Reproductive Health in Crises to Rohingya refugees and those living in the host communities. This includes comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights services, such as a variety of family planning choices, midwifery services, and post-abortion care. Significant progress has been made since August 2017, including improved health and sanitation infrastructure; improved coverage and variety of services; 24/7 emergency care; and consistent availability of reproductive health supplies.
