Bangladesh health policy Part-1

The Bangladesh health policy was published in 2011 and adheres to the following principles:

Health is defined as “A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.


1.  Every citizen has the basic right to adequate health care. The State and the government are constitutionally obliged to ensure health care for its citizens.
2. To ensure an effective health care system that responds to the need of a healthy nation, health policy provides the vision and mission for development.
3. Pursuit of such policy will fulfill the demands of the people of the country, while health service providers will be encouraged and inspired. People's physical well-being and free thought process have proved to be a precondition for the growth and intellectual enrichment in today's human society
4. Bangladesh expressed agreement on the following declarations:
   4.1. The Alma Ata Declaration (1978)
   4.2. The World Summit for Children (1990)
   4.3. International Conference on Population and Development (1994)
   4.4. Beijing Women's Conference (1995)[2]
In the absence of a written and approved Health Policy, the national Annual Development Programme and Five Year Plans substituted for policy principles. The problems in the health services multiplied in the absence of a clear policy. Bangladesh is a developing country with the world's highest population density.
