Abstract

Rohingya people who escapes from Myanmar due to violence settled in neighboring countries like Bangladesh, India and some even in Nepal. The burden of extra people in the countries have made a humanitarian crisis not in terms of food, water, shelter and basic needs but also affecting their health as well. Lack of nutrition, health education, immunization, maternal and newborn child health care along with existing mass attack by beating and arms like rifle, bullet, bomb blast by the Myanmar army leads to various neurosurgical conditions that need to be addressed by the Department of Neurosurgery, Chattogram Medical College Hospital as an urgent basis. Here we will put an emphasis on their neurosurgical disease we commonly encountered in our nearby government hospital with their appropriate managements.

Keywords: Rohingya Myanmar; Bangladesh; Chattogram Medical College; Neurosurgical disease.
