From January to June 2025, the Sexual and Reproductive Health Working Group (SRHWG), led by UNFPA in Cox’s Bazar, remained focused on preventing excess maternal and perinatal deaths in the Rohingya response, even as critical funding interruptions threatened essential health services. The sudden suspension of U.S. government funding as well as reduced funding by other donors for the response significantly disrupted essential health service delivery across the response. Multiple health posts (HP) and primary health centers experienced service interruptions, nine HPs were affected in April (one closed, eight reduced in capacity), along with several PHCs and host community health facilities. Health service data shows notable declines in most SRH services during the first half of 2025, reflecting the broader funding crisis.
