Kaci Hickox, a nurse from Texas, worked as the primary health care manager for Doctors Without Borders/M?decins Sans Fronti?res (MSF) programs in northern Rakhine state, Myanmar, from May 2007 to March 2009. The majority of MSF patients in this area, on the border of Bangladesh, are part of an ethnic and Muslim group called the Rohingya. They have great difficulty receiving any health care, as travel restrictions or fees for travel permission keep them confined to their own villages. Even if they can reach health care facilities, often members of this group cannot afford to pay and are subjected to discrimination at government- run hospitals or health centers. During the two years she worked in northern Rakhine state, Hickox?s primary responsibility was managing three rural clinics that serve approximately 110,000 Rohingya people.
