An Introduction

Arakan Rohingya Social Welfare society’s healthcare division is a non profit, healthcare unit dedicated to serve the helpless poor Rohingya’s residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, specially in the western region.

Arakan Rohingya Social Welfare Society’s health care division was officially opened on 8th of August in the year 2000 to meet the growing needs of poor and helpless Burmese Rohingya Muslims who have been driven out from their ancestral homeland through ethnic cleansing by successive racist Burmese regimes, in a systematic and planned way, since 1942 communal riot that resulted in the massacre of about 100,000 Rohingya Muslims in Arakan.

The clinic is located near the Nur Mosque, Kilo 14, Jeddah and it is sponsered by Jamiat Al Bir. It has four rooms of which two houses the two doctors and one is used as 

dressing room while the other is used as waiting room.
