Abstract

 Dear Editor-in-chief, The Republic of the Union of Myanmar – formerly known as Burma – is a small nation located in South East of Asia, on the border of Thailand, Laos, China and Bangladesh (Figure. 1). According to a 2014 census, the country has a population of over 51 million people. The country is officially a Buddhist state, but with 135 recognized ethnic minorities, it boasts a big religious diversity as well. Based on the 2014 census, over two million of Myanmar’ s residents identified as Muslims. Myanmar has a total area of 262, 000 square miles (678, 500 km2), and consists of 14 stets and regions (1-3). Many of Burma’ s indigenous Muslims live in Rakhine State, on the Western coast next to the border with Bangladesh. Rohingya are however considered to be stateless, because the Myanmar Government officially considers the ethnic minority to be illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The persecution has forced nearly one million Rohingya to flee into Bangladesh since 1977, with many more seeking refuge in other countries. Other Muslim countries have opened their doors to the refugees, with some choosing to flee to India, Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia. The Rohingya face discrimination and barriers to health care (4, 5). According to a 2016 study published in the medical journal "The Lancet", Rohingya Children in Myanmar face low birth weight, malnutrition, diarrhea, and barriers to reproduction on reaching adulthood (4). Rohingya have a child mortality rate of up to 224 deaths per 1000 live births, more than 4 times the rate for the rest of Myanmar (52 per 1000 live births), and 3 times rate of rest non-Rohingya areas of Rakhine state (77 per 1000 live births) (4, 5). The paper also found that 40% of Rohingya Children suffer from diarrhea in internally displaced persons camp within Myanmar at a rate five times that of diarrheal illness among Children in the rest of Rakhine (4).
