In the health sector, there is deficiency in all aspects, including testing facilities, infrastructure, equipment and trained human resources. Budget allocation for the health sector is very low, only 0.9% of GDP. As a result, this sector needs more allocation than in previous times. Bangladesh needs huge resources to meet its budget deficit. For this Bangladesh needs to prepare programs not only for the health sector but also for creating livelihoods for its poor people.
