About this Petition

Healthcare Inequality

Bangladesh spends only 2.5% of GDP on health, one of the lowest in South Asia. The poor face catastrophic health expenses that push millions into poverty.

The Reality

  • 67% of healthcare costs are paid out-of-pocket
  • Rural areas have 1 doctor per 10,000 people
  • Essential medicines are unaffordable for most
  • Mental health services are almost non-existent
  • Maternal mortality remains unacceptably high

Our Vision

  1. Universal health insurance for all citizens
  2. Free primary healthcare at community clinics
  3. Subsidized essential medicines
  4. Mental health services in every upazila
  5. Emergency care regardless of ability to pay

Health is a Right

Sign to demand healthcare as a fundamental right for all Bangladeshis.
