Bangladesh: Health Bulletin 2015

This publication primarily intends to highlight the activities and healthcare situation in Bangladesh during 2014 but, based on availability, 2015 data are also included in some cases.

2015 is a year of great significance in terms of newer public health visions, both for Bangladesh and other Member States of the United Nations. The UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will conclude this December, and we will have to confront the challenges of the newly-set Sustainable Development Goals, abbreviated as SDGs. Health Bulletin 2015 makes specific mention of this transition, in relevant chapters. Our experiences with the MDGs will guide us in our pursuit of addressing the new challenges in the coming SDGs.
