Tóm tắt :

According to the constitution of Bangladesh, health is a right and, in 2012, initial work towardsuniversal health coverage was marked by introduction of a health-care financing strategy. However,for 2016, Bangladesh’s domestic general government health expenditure was only 0.42% of grossdomestic product, making it one of the lowest-spending countries in the world, with 72% of currenthealth expenditure coming from out-of-pocket spending. One factor that is key to the challenge ofproviding universal health coverage in Bangladesh is the large proportion of the population whowork in the informal sector – an estimated 51.7 million people or 85.1% of the labour force in 2017.Most workers engaged in the informal sector lack job security, social benefits and legal protection.The evidence base on the health needs and health-seeking behaviours of this large population issparse. The government has recognized that increased efforts are needed to ensure that the country’snotable successes in improving maternal, neonatal and child health need to be expanded to coverthe full range of health services to the whole population, and specifically the more marginalized andimpoverished sectors of society. In addition to the universal need to increase funding and to improvethe availability and quality of primary health care, workers in the informal sector need to be targetedthrough an explicit mechanism, with enhanced budgetary allocation to health facilities serving thesecommunities. Importantly, there is a clear need to build an evidence base to inform policies that seek toensure that informal sector workers have greater access to quality health services.
