Dear Sir/Madam,
With humble and due respects to state that we, the general Rohingya refugee under UN Refugee Agency, would like to apprise the sorrow that befell on Nur Begum, wife of Hamid Hossain, MRC no. 80026, shed no. 43/E when she visited doctor for treatment on Feburary 18, 2012 at 12:30 pm.
The above mentioned Dr. Jakarea (Jiko) has beaten her inhumanly instead of providing medical treatment. Due to the abuse, she has been referred to Coxs Bazar Hospital for the emergency treatment. It is sadly to state that the doctors and nurses in the camps
always misconduct the codes of medicine and negelect their responsibilities treating Rohingya patients.
This is a case of violation of professionalism in medical field, as well as violation of human rights and abusing of weaker women by male and/or female healthcare providers.
Therefore, we are humbly requesting your office to look at the matter quickly and take necessary steps against the mentioned healthworkers.
Yours faithfully;
Rohingya Refugees, Kutupalong Camp
