Statement on World Health Day

We undersigned organizations warmly salute the World Health Day, which is widely

observed in across the world on the 7th April in every year in order to improve health

services by fighting against major killers, including Tuberculosis, HIV, malaria,

pneumonia and diarrheal diseases.

We are sure that World Health Organization (WHO) is increasingly expanding service

oriented system and facilities for every alive in across the globe.

But the health issues for the Rohingya Arakanese refugees from Burma in Malaysia arekept uncared at the expense of modern day slaves in hands of discriminating

authorities on the basis of racial, religious, national and economic backgrounds, while

the roles of the UN agencies remained unseen.

Indeed, the Rohingya refugees are regarded as inhuman in every sector as they are

recognized as citizen or ethnic for none and thus the representation of refugee status

holders are ineligible in all quarters even at the office of the United Nations High

Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and thus the Rohingya people are not welcomed in

anywhere.

It is interested that the Rohingya refugees were never given chance to take part in

UNHCR sponsored Community Health Worker Trainings in Malaysia, while non-Rohingya

and anti-Rohingya workers and staffs are assigned to look into the matter of the

Rohingya refugees health issues and other concerns, which disdained these

downtrodden and vulnerable Rohingya refugees.

Currently, patients of cardiac, asthma, cancer, ulcer, diabetics, urology, gynecology,

kedy, epilepsy, hypertension, psychiatry, paralysis, accident and undiagnosed diseases

are very high among the Rohingya refugees who are unable to cover partial medical

expenses in their marginalized situation.

In many cases, hospital authorities forcefully take the Rohingya refugees to undergo

for surgery and tests with a view to develop training manuals for fresh practitioners

and graduates, so the death tools of Rohingya refugees are uncalculated.

Mention may be made here that free clinic, mobile clinic and charitable health services

are available for most of non-Rohingya refugees in Malaysia. So, they can receive

necessary treatments and medications on every health matter. But the Rohingya

refugees are completely deprived from such facilities and thus passing their lives at

risk of untimely dead.
