Bangladesh is one of the most populous countries in the world, as well as having one of the fastest growing economies in the world.[1] Consequently, Bangladesh faces challenges and opportunities in regards to public health. A remarkable metamorphosis has unfolded in Bangladesh, encompassing the demographic, health, and nutritional dimensions of its populace.[2]
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[3] finds that Bangladesh is fulfilling 89.3% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[4] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Bangladesh achieves 95.0% of what is expected based on its current income.[4] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 94.2% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income.[4] Bangladesh falls into the "bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 78.8% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.[4]
