Health System of Bangladesh"
Bangladesh has a pluralistic
healthcare system,
which is highly unregulated and consists mainly of four key actors:
government, for-profit private sector, not-for-profit private sector
(mainly the nongovernmental organizations ), and the international
development organization.
Health levels remain relatively low in
Bangladesh, although they
have improved recently as poverty levels
have decreased. Hence, the OOP expenditures for
health care services have been sufficiently
costly in Bangladesh. The OOP
healthcare expenditure sufficiently
expensive below the poverty line. The
health care service delivery in
Bangladesh starts from the Community Clinics (CC) in villages, Union
Health and Family Welfare Centers (UHFWC) at unions (collection of villages), Upazila
Health Complexes (UHC) at the sub-district level, and backed by District Hospital (DH). Recently in order to improve the pandemic situation of COVID-19 the government of Bangladesh has initiated a mass free vaccination program for the well-being of people, which is really appreciable to our government.
