Bangladesh Health Policy Part-5

Process for formulation

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare assembled a Committee in 1996 for the purpose of preparing a health policy, with members drawn from civil society and professional bodies, including technocrats and bureaucrats.

A further five sub-committees were formed to:


Evaluate the existing health services and determining the goals
Formulate policies to ensure essential services
Formulate policies to ensure hospital-based services
Design Strategies for HRD
Integrate NGOs and the Private Sector and plan for resources and utilisation of funds
The sub-committees worked for more than a year and submitted their efforts/recommendations. A working group was formed and entrusted with the responsibilities for compiling the recommendations contained in the reports. The working group also organised workshops in all six Divisions to elicit opinions of cross-section of the society on these reports. Finally the working group presented the proposals and recommendations to the National Health Policy Formulation Committee. A report on the health policy was thus formulated on the basis of consensus. The Cabinet on 14 Aug 2000 approved the National Health Policy.
