Title
Uncovering the saga of Bangladesh paradox and its relevance in global health care systems : taking inspiration from a resilient positive deviant
Author
Abstract
While many nations across the world still continue to struggle to achieve near optimum and desirable health outcomes in various areas including public health, education and so on and despite being economically well-off and bestowed with robust resources; Bangladesh as a so-called “one of the poorest nations” has set an example in redefining its position on the world map by achieving some outstanding achievements in the health sector [1,2]. With a current population of over 153 million, ranking eighth on the list of most populated nations globally and despite once being labeled as “the country without hope” after its independence in 1971, Bangladesh has strived to overcome various odds in the health sector which go in parallel with other endeavors [3,4]. It is commendable that only after four decades of its independence, in the year 2010, UN acknowledged Bangladesh as a country for setting milestones in achieving extraordinary progress in Millennium Developmental Goal (MDG 4) in combating child motility [2].
