WHO Cox’s Bazar: Rohingya emergency crisis - Situation Report: November 2025

In November 2025, WHO Cox’s Bazar maintained uninterrupted essential health services across the Rohingya camps, ensuring continuity of routine care, emergency readiness, outbreak monitoring, and immunization activities. Priority interventions covered surveillance, vaccination, infection prevention and control, noncommunicable disease management, mental health support, and maternal and child health. WHO also provided technical coordination, information management support, and logistics to sustain the humanitarian health response for Rohingya and host communities.

The WHO-led Health Sector also facilitated multiple Technical Working Group meetings, including SRH, RCCE, MHPSS, CHW, and EPI, to maintain field-level coordination and provide technical guidance. These collective efforts ensured continued alignment with the Health Sector Strategic Objectives 1–3 and reinforced WHO’s leadership in coordinating the humanitarian health response in Cox’s Bazar. 

The WHO led Health Sector in Cox’s Bazar completed the Peer Review of the 2026 Joint Response Plan (JRP), receiving 23 project proposals from partner organizations. The Peer Review Team (PRT), comprising representatives from the Health Sector Strategic Advisory Group (SAG), assessed each proposal for technical and operational relevance, feasibility, fundraising potential, coordination commitments, and adherence to humanitarian principles, using the 2025 Public Health Needs Assessment (PHNA) and the 2026 Prioritization and Rationalization Plan as guiding documents.
