No results found.Bangladesh has made significant progress tackling undernutrition over the last two decades. Progress has also been made increasing enrolment at primary schools, lowering the infant mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio, improving immunization coverage and reducing the incidence of communicable diseases. Despite these significant achievements, levels of stunting and underweight are still high than the WHO/CDC threshold level for emergency and is considered a severe public health problem.
