Description
Md. Ismail Hossain and co-authors published a 2026 study of under-five child mortality across the eight divisions of Bangladesh. The team reconstructed regional trends from 1990 to 2022 and forecast them to 2030.
Their analysis rests on 64,697 birth history records from the 2022 national demographic and health survey. Mortality fell in every division, with Sylhet persistently highest and Khulna lowest, and regional gaps were significant only in certain years such as the early 1990s. The forecasts suggest most divisions will approach the global target of 25 deaths per thousand live births by 2030. Sylhet and Rangpur lag behind and, the authors argue, need extra investment.
