Description
Md Ismail Hossain and Azizur Rahman led a study of child deaths in Bangladesh. They tracked deaths before age five in all eight regions. The span ran from 1990 to 2022. They then forecast the path to 2030. The data came from a big national survey. Birth records for near sixty-five thousand children fed the work.
Gaps between regions were weak across the whole span. But they flared in the early nineties and late twenty-tens. Sylhet kept the worst rates and Khulna the best. Sylhet and Rangpur also improved at a slow pace. Forecasts show gains that flatten with time. The team says the last pockets of high deaths need focused aid.
