According to World Health Organizatiion(WHO) :
Bangladesh suffers from both a shortage of and geographic mal-distribution of HRH. There are an estimated 3.05 physicians per 10,000 population and 1.07 nurses per 10,000 population (estimates based on MoHFW HRD 2011). There is a severe gap between sanctioned and filled health worker positions: 36% vacancy in sanctioned health worker positions and only 32% of facilities have 75% or more of the sanctioned staff working in the facilities (World Bank, 2009). 28% of treatment provided in government health facilities is through alternative medicine (Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy), yet as of June 2011, there was a 50% vacancy rate for alternative medicine providers (MoHFW AMC 2011).
