Book Info
Health for All in Bangladesh contains the most comprehensive information available about primary health care services in Bangladesh, including activities in maternal and child health care, Family planning, reproductive health care, nutrition, quality of care, and health care financing. The new major policies in health, population and nutrition that have been recently adopted are reviewed along with major new national initiatives which are just now beginning. Based on this review, a comprehensive set of lessons are drawn from the Bangladesh experience to date, with the aim of creating a vision for how all of Bangladesh's citizens can attain the highest level of health possible. One of the central themes of the Book is the importance of the local community, NGOs, and the Government working together, particularly in the effort to improve the health of the "poorest of the poor," who need high-quality primary care services the most. This book should be of interest to anyone working in the health, population and nutrition fields in Bangladesh and also to those outside of Bangladesh who are interested in issues pertaining to primary health care in developing countries.
