- Abstract
In South Asia, the prevalence of health problems is increasing day by day. Over 11.9% of the 167.85 million people in Bangladesh live in poverty with no safety net. Moreover, communicable diseases (vaccine-preventable diseases, tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS, and neglected tropical disease) and non-communicable diseases (diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and mental disorders) significantly impact morbidity and mortality. Human resource development is not focused, whereas training is also biased toward curative care instead of prevention, having poor healthcare infrastructures, deficiency of skilled workforce, skilled financial resources allocation, and political unreliability. However, the existent physician-patient ratio in Bangladesh lies within 5.26 per 10000 of the total population, while the average infant mortality rate is over 21.6 per 1000 live births. This study currently aims to focus on several issues, i.e., governance, accessibility, and affordability, that Bangladesh’s health care system is yet to tackle, which are the main issues that are preventing the implementation of the resolution to the public health problem in Bangladesh.
