Bangladesh

In September we hosted a delegation of officials from Bangladesh who were visiting the UK as part of our support to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Ministry of Local Government Rural Development and Cooperative under the Urban Health Strengthening Project (UHSSP) in Bangladesh.

Our Urban Health System Strengthening Project is working in Bangladesh to enable the poorest people to access health care in the cities at a subsidised cost or for free, using a 'common health care entitlement card'.

"By 'gender equality' I understand equal opportunity for both sexes. Wherever possible I try to give a platform to everyone. It’s every human being’s right to be respected."
