“Health is the basic right of every citizen of the Republic” as health is fundamental to human development. Accordingly, the Government of Bangladesh has been pursuing for a health system that ensures provision of basic health services to the entire population. The country is constantly going through a number of triumphs and tragedies in achieving health care goals for its citizens. Reaching the underprivileged with equal provision of access to health and family planning services, good governance in the sector, access to safe and adequate food and drinking water, raising awareness of preventive behavior to avoid adverse health outcomes – both communicable and non-communicable, and access to essential drugs and other health care products are some of the major challenges for the health sector.

i. In order to ensure health facilities to every citizen of the country, the health policy of the erstwhile Awami League government will be reevaluated and adjusted according to the demands of the time. In the light of this policy, 18000 community clinics, established during Awami League rule, will be commissioned. Nutrition to children and mothers' welfare will be ensured. The Population Policy will be updated. And accordingly birth control and reproductive health care will be ensured.
ii. The arsenic problem will be tackled and measures will be taken to supply pure drinking water for all by 2011 and to provide sanitation facility in every house by 2013.
iii. An appropriate pharmaceutical policy to bring self- sufficiency in the production of medicines of international standard and to promote their export will be formulated. Concurrently, effective measures will be taken for education in traditional medicine and improvement of the quality of traditional medicine.
