    Bangladesh has a pluralistic healthcare system consisting of government services, private for-profit services, non-profit services from NGOs, and international development organizations. The healthcare system faces challenges like catastrophic health expenditures forcing millions into poverty and inequities across social and economic groups. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is responsible for basic healthcare and coordinates services across non-government and private sectors. Healthcare is provided at primary, secondary and tertiary levels but Bangladesh still lags compared to neighbors in areas like doctor expertise, healthcare technology and quality of hospitals. Collaboration with advanced foreign hospitals and health organizations is needed to improve the system.

    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 orgaanizations , and the international development organizations.

    Catastrophic health expenditure forces 5.7 million Bangladeshis into poverty. Inequity is present in most
    of health indicators across social, economic, and demographic parameters. This study explores the
    existing health policy environment and current activities to further the progress towards Universal
    Health Coverage (UHC) and the challenges faced in these endeavors.

    Policy and Strategic Response to Challenges


    In Bangladesh, healthcare is offered either through government- run hospitals or through privately-run
    clinics. Bangladesh is still lagging in health care services for the poor as well as the affluent. In recent
    years, our neighbors, India and Thailand have forged ahead in respect of expertise and experience of
    doctors, advancement of healthcare technologies and high quality hospitals and health management
    organizations. To achieve this in our country, technological collaboration with technologically advanced
    hospitals are needed and follow health management organizations in the developed countries of Asia
    and the advanced nations of the West.
