Topic: Anti aging: Steps towards the fountain

of youth.

From the Editor’s Pen

Maternal and Child Healthcare has been a prime

concern in the Bangladesh’s health sector, especially in

achieving targets set below in the Millennium

Development Goals 4 & 5:

MDGs Target Bangladesh Target

MDG 4:

Reduce Child

Mortality

Reduce by two-thirds

By 2015 under-five

mortality rate.

Reduce under-five mortality

from 151 deaths per 1,000

live births in 1990 to 50 by

2015.

MDG 5:

Improving

Maternal

Health

Reduce by three

quarters, by 2015 the

maternal mortality

ratio.

• Reduce the Maternal Mortality Ratio from 574

to 143 deaths per by 2015.

• Achieve 50% skilled atten-dance at delivery by 2010.

Although Bangladesh has made significant progress in

the healthcare services in the last three decades,

overall achievements in the MDG target has been

rather slow. Maternal mortality is slowly declining with

320 deaths per 100,000 (2001), but is not in track for

MDG 5. Similarly, neonatal (0-28 days) mortality has

been slow although there has been rapid decline in post-

natal (1-11 months) and child (12-59 months) mortality.

These achievements are mainly due to universal cover-

age for immunization and Vitamin A supplementation.

The Facility delivery has increased significantly mainly

due to increasing private facilities whereas the Home

delivery by skilled attendants has been slow.

Robust MCH service is the most important activity for

the health of the nation which is dependent on prag-

matic programs and action plan; concerted effort

between public-private sector; and support of the prof-

essional bodies, NGOs and international development

partners like WHO, UNICEF, etc.

Rotarians can play an important role in achieving the

MDG target through concerted effort with the

Government and other agencies. Rotary Club of Dhaka

can play an important role, especially in increasing Home

delivery facility by developing skilled attendants

through training and other healthcare support in

keeping with the Rotary theme ‘Be a gift to the world’.
