UNICEF, UNFPA and Canada partner with Bangladesh to improve access of 8m children, women to healthcare

Canada is supporting Bangladesh to improve primary healthcare systems for women, children, and adolescents through its partnership with Unicef and UNFPA.
A five-year project, titled "Health System Strengthening for Primary Health Care", has been launched to that end, according to a Unicef press statement issued today (25 June).
The project will address critical gaps in the healthcare system, particularly in five underserved rural areas - Kurigram, Bhola, Khagrachari, Sherpur, and Sunamganj - and will reduce maternal and child mortality while promoting gender equality and access to quality healthcare.
