Background
Local
Reaching health care to every citizen is a millennium development goal and Bangladesh has achieved a great success in this. The present government has developed the healthcare system from union Parishad to Upazilla, District, Divisional level through community health clinic, Upazilla health complex, District & Divisional Hospital and Medical College Hospital both government & private. Doctors and supporting health care professional like nurse, Paramedics, auxiliary staff, Technologists are the backbone of the health care delivery system.
