Reaching the unreachable: a mixed-method evaluation of multidimensional healthcare model addressing the healthcare service gaps in hard-to-reach Northern riverine Bangladesh
Friendship's 3-tier healthcare model made the accessibility and affordability of primary healthcare. Upon implementing a robust referral mechanism, continuing collaboration with the Government of Bangladesh, and expanding community awareness sessions to include topics such as mental health and disaster response, this model has the potential to be effective in similar settings in Bangladesh and other developing countries, as well as during emergency responses.
