The World Kidney Day 2021
On 11.03.2021, Rohingya Medics Organisation increases awareness on kidney/renal health to the Rohingya population worldwide.
Due to prolong persecution, the Rohingya in Myanmar and as refugees worldwide are confronted with many barriers in receiving treatments for chronic renal failure. Being unable to afford expensive treatments and facing severe movement restrictions many Rohingya end up with premature deaths in Myanmar. Even the Rohingya refugee population does not have fair access to the treatments of end stage renal failure in countries they seek refuge.
Rohingya Medics Organisation advocates for innovative campaigns on preventive strategies on renal diseases worldwide and recommends international donors and governments hosting refugees to invest in facilities to provide better access to renal care for this unique patient population with equity and solidarity.
