Health problems in Bangladesh: A struggle for equitable and accessible healthcare

A person's physical and mental well-being is referred to as their health. In the institutions of global governance, it is not just a requirement but also a recognized human right. Literatures search was conducted using Google Scholar secondary data from sources such as pertinent books, academic journal articles, newspapers, health reports, policy papers as well as convention papers and other government databases to retrieve relevant articles and research until June 2024. All important information was collected and presented briefly to gain a clear idea about the health sector in Bangladesh. This article represents the health landscape, characterized by a high rate of population growth, improper budget allocation in the health sector, and a lack of adequate health infrastructure and technology. It has been revealed that the government cannot deliver effective health services in the absence of appropriate health policies, plans, and execution. As a result, the public health system is unable to provide people with the proper medical care, which causes several problems for Bangladesh's healthcare system. Political unpredictability and a lack of dedication have hindered the viability of healthcare projects, while a lack of public health and management expertise at the district and upazila levels impacts the quality of healthcare services.
