Zusammenfassung
  • Bangladesh has made significant progress on population and health indicators under the Sustainable Development Goal 3. Even though accessibility, coverage and quality of healthcare remain areas of concern. The health sector can be improved in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), to increase the speed of health services, the capacity to manage illnesses, and change the relationship between patients and healthcare service providers. But Bangladesh would require significant investments in technology from the government, national and international private sector, and international development partners to facilitate the full advantage. Without such investment in the health sector, the targets under SDG 3 cannot be achieved by 2030. This study has utilised nationally representative microdata of 1,600 health facilities and 5,400 health service providers from the Bangladesh Health Facility Survey 2017 to describe the impact of the use of technology and information services. This study is a joint collaboration of Centre for Policy dialogue (CPD) and FES Bangladesh that identifies areas where investments in technology can help improve the quality and increase the affordability of healthcare.
