She, who is also a medical lecturer from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak was in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh for two weeks; serving on a humanitarian mission. She swears that it was the best impulsive decision she has ever made.

Serving under Malaysian NGO, IMARET (IMAM Response and Relief Team) Mardiana was deployed to Kutupalong Camp for two weeks, together with two medical officers from the Ministry of Health. The operation is supported by the Malaysian Field Hospital (operated by Malaysian Armed Forces), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Security Council and NGOs.

Mardiana’s day began as early as 7 am as the camp is located about two hours from Cox’s Bazar town, where the volunteers stayed.

There are no roads, just dusty footpaths along steep, hilly, open area making access to the nearest clinic and hospital even more challenging.
