Regular and intense official publicities need to be geared up so that people can be made aware about what they can do on their own to keep away from illnesses

Preventive health care

In a country like Bangladesh with a vast number of people living below the poverty line, the reliance on the public health sector for treatment and advice at bearable costs is understandably high. Therefore, the preventive sides to health care also deserve far greater emphasis in a developing country like Bangladesh which is obviously limited by scarcity of resources in looking after satisfactorily the heath needs of its vast population of over 160 million people. The best strategy for a developing country with limited resources is spreading vital health maintenance related information among all sections of people .
Thus, regular and intense official publicities need to be geared up so that our people can be made aware about what they can do on their own to keep away from illnesses. People can be kept educated about not smoking, taking proper diets, observing thoroughly essential hygiene and maintaining their physical environments safely.
From doing of these things alone, a number of serious diseases can be warded off and health of people can generally improve. Furthermore, government should take on major campaigns to increase nutritional awareness. People may learn how to cater effectively to nutritional needs from consumption of cheap but nutritionally rich foodstuffs. Children at schools and workers in factories can be supported with free distribution or sale at nominal prices dietary supplements or nutrious foods .
The privately run health care centres present two different faces. On the one hand, world class hospitals and diagnostic centres are coming up in the major cities. Government should encourage this trend by allowing import of hospitals equipment at specially preferential reduced rates and by taxing the entrepreneurs in this field leniently.
 On the other hand, regulatory activities in relation to sub-standard medical or health centres need to be tightened for the sake of improving the quality of services.
