Burundian refugee women in Tanzania face reduced access to reproductive healthcare as relocation looms

• In Nyarugusu, the third-largest refugee camp in the world, an estimated 20,000 of the 100,000 residents are in need of reproductive care.
• Overcrowding at the camp has led to plans for relocating a portion of the refugees to new camps, and with no health clinics currently built there, as many as 10,000 could face disruptions in healthcare.
• More than 200,000 have fled Burundi in the wake of political unrest, with half of the refugees currently residing in Tanzania.
