Good Health and Well-being in Bangladesh

This presentation provides an overview of the Sustainable Development


Goal 3: ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing for all at all ages,
with a focus on the situation in Bangladesh. It covers the government
initiatives, current progress, challenges, and recommendations for further
improvement.
Introduction
● Good health and well-being is a basic
human right and is essential for individuals
to live a fulfilling life.
● The United Nations' SDGs include Goal 3,
which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and
promoting well-being for all at all ages.
● Bangladesh's high population density,
limited resources and numerous health
challenges make achieving this goal a
priority.
Overview of the Goal in Bangladesh
● Goal 3 of the SDGs includes targets related
to reducing maternal and child mortality,
combating major diseases, promoting mental
health, and achieving universal health
coverage.
● Bangladesh has made progress in some
areas, such as reducing maternal and child
mortality rates, but faces challenges in
others, such as non-communicable diseases
and mental health issues.
Government Initiative to achieve the
Goal’s target
● The Bangladesh government has
implemented numerous initiatives to achieve
the SDG 3 targets, such as the Health,
Nutrition and Population Sector Program,
the National Strategy for Maternal, Neonatal
and Child Health, and the Health Care
Financing Strategy.
● The government has also increased
investment in the health sector, improved
health facilities and services, and expanded
immunization coverage.
Current Progress and Key Challenges
● Bangladesh has made progress in achieving
some of the SDG 3 targets, but more needs
to be done to address challenges, such as
inadequate funding, weak infrastructure,
inadequate health workforce, and social
determinants of health.
● The COVID-19 pandemic has also
highlighted weaknesses in the health system
and widened health inequalities.
Current Progress in Achieving the
Goals and Targets
● Significant progress has been made in
reducing infant and maternal mortality rates.
● Bangladesh has also achieved universal
immunization coverage for children.
● Progress has been made in combating
communicable diseases such as tuberculosis
and malaria.
Key Challenges
● Bangladesh still faces challenges such as
high rates of malnutrition, inadequate
healthcare infrastructure, and insufficient
resources.
● Limited access to clean water and sanitation
also contribute to health challenges.
Recommendations for Further
Improvement
● Recommendations include increasing
investments in healthcare infrastructure,
improving the quality of care, and
expanding access to essential health services
in rural and remote areas.
● Other recommendations include investing
in nutrition programs and improving access
to clean water and sanitation facilities.
Conclusion
● Achieving SDG 3 in Bangladesh requires a
multi-sectoral approach, including
strengthening health systems, addressing
social determinants of health, increasing
investment in health, and involving
communities in health promotion.
● Key recommendations include increasing
funding for the health sector, improving
health infrastructure and workforce,
expanding health services to underserved
areas, and promoting preventive and primary
health care.
