findings iV: impact of movement restrictions When prescription medication is needed, patients are unable to access it because it is not provided by the clinics and there is limited pharmacy access inside the camps. Therefore, accessing prescription medication requires leaving the camps, but restrictions on movement has made this increasingly difficult. “If we ask for proper healthcare besides paracetamol capsules at the free health facilities, the health workers say that there is no proper healthcare for us, and they just send us back home,” said Amina, a 30-yearold Rohingya woman. “Now, it’s like we should die of the diseases here as we neither access proper healthcare from the free health facilities, nor can we access medicines from the local pharmacies.” 98 According to respondents, permission from the CIC to leave the camps for healthcare is only given for very serious cases and is frequently denied underneath the false notion that adequate healthcare is available in the camps. “If we are not getting proper treatment from the hospital inside the camp, then we need to go out of the camp to seek proper treatments,” explained Hassan, a 32-year-old Rohingya man. “If you need to go outside of the camp, then you need to get permission from CIC. He gives permission if he likes. Or else, he does not. If the patient is very serious, then they are given permission. If the patient has Hepatitis C or B or AIDS, then they are not given permission, and are told to seek treatment from the hospitals inside the camp.” 99 As noted by Hassan, this has created a wide treatment gap for Rohingya patients. Therefore, many attempt to leave the camps without permission in search of healthcare. However, even if someone is able to leave the camp, healthcare access is still not guaranteed. Respondents reported that most private clinics are costly and can require Bangladesh national identification cards. 98 99 Interview C20F Interview C03M 57
