abstract: 'Bangladesh, the eighth most populous country in the world with about 153
million people, has recently been applauded as an exceptional health
performer. In the first paper in this Series, we present evidence to
show that Bangladesh has achieved substantial health advances, but the
country''s success cannot be captured simplistically because health in
Bangladesh has the paradox of steep and sustained reductions in birth
rate and mortality alongside continued burdens of morbidity. Exceptional
performance might be attributed to a pluralistic health system that has
many stakeholders pursuing women-centred, gender-equity-oriented, highly
focused health programmes in family planning, immunisation, oral
rehydration therapy, maternal and child health, tuberculosis, vitamin A
supplementation, and other activities, through the work of widely
deployed community health workers reaching all households. Government
and non-governmental organisations have pioneered many innovations that
have been scaled up nationally. However, these remarkable achievements
in equity and coverage are counterbalanced by the persistence of child
and maternal malnutrition and the low use of maternity-related services.
The Bangladesh paradox shows the net outcome of successful direct health
action in both positive and negative social determinants of health-ie,
positives such as women''s empowerment, widespread education, and
mitigation of the effect of natural disasters; and negatives such as low
gross domestic product, pervasive poverty, and the persistence of income
inequality. Bangladesh offers lessons such as how gender equity can
improve health outcomes, how health innovations can be scaled up, and
how direct health interventions can partly overcome socioeconomic
constraints.'
