Bangladesh is among the most densely
populated countries in the world. Poverty remains high at 43
percent of the population subsist on less than United States
(U.S.) $1.25 per day (2010). Bangladesh achieved several
millennium development goal (MDG) targets in education,
health, and poverty reduction. Gender equality and
women's empowerment are important determinants of
reproductive health. While fertility and contraceptive
prevalence rate (CPR) are evenly distributed, wide gaps in
access to maternal health services remain. Bangladesh will
need to focus on increasing political commitment to
adolescent health; focusing interventions on high-fertility
and high maternal mortality ratio (MMR) areas; addressing
human resources constraints; and harnessing the use of technology. |
