Identifying Obstetrical Needs Among Rohingya Refugee Women at Aurora Sinai Medical Center

This presentation will focus on obstetric care for Rohingya refugees in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It will include a brief overview of the history of the Rohingya people as well as past studies regarding obstetric care for refugee populations. The main portion of this presentation will summarize the results from our quality improvement study to identify community-defined needs for obstetric care among Rohingya refugees who have delivered at Aurora Sinai in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the past 5 years. We hope that this presentation will shed light on the Rohingya refugee experience in receiving obstetric care and help guide and improve the peripartum care we provide this refugee population.
