Good news from Bangladesh

Bangladesh makes notable growth in primary healthcare


It focussed strongly on disadvantaged section of society, particularly women

Without waiting the perfect set of conditions to address public health issues, Bangladesh has achieved the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) on maternal health.

“Bangladesh focussed strongly on the disadvantaged section of society, particularly women, in the past three decades that led to employment, availability of micro-credit, education and overall empowerment. These were the building blocks of good health in the country,” according to Timothy G. Evans, Dean of James P. Grant School of Public Health at the BRAC University in Dhaka.
