UNICEF and partners operate 33 outpatient therapeutic programmes (OTPs) to treat malnutrition in children under 5 in the Rohingya refugee camps. In 2018, 21,000 children were admitted to UNICEF supported OTPs and treated for severe acute malnutrition. The OTP cure rate was over 96 per cent. Overall, the malnutrition rate has reduced. However, contributing factors such as poverty, lack of dietary diversity, nutrient deficiency and access to safe water and sanitation remain a challenge to reduce malnutrition rates further. Camp-3.
