Description
Story behind this
initiative
In Bangladesh, access to healthcare and proper nutrition remains a challenge for many, especially in rural and underserved areas. Malnutrition, maternal and child health issues, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure contribute to a high burden of preventable diseases and health disparities.
Jonoshakti’s Health, Nutrition, and Population initiative is dedicated to improving health outcomes by providing essential healthcare services, promoting proper nutrition, and supporting family planning and population management efforts. Our programs are designed to reach those who need it most, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
Our approach is holistic, addressing the root causes of health issues while providing immediate care. By focusing on prevention, education, and access to quality services, Jonoshakti is making a significant impact on the well-being of individuals and communities across Bangladesh.
Brief Summary
Health and nutrition are fundamental to a community’s well-being. Jonoshakti works on improving access to healthcare, addressing malnutrition, and promoting family planning and population control initiatives.
Why it's important
Bangladesh continues to face significant health challenges, with The Business Standard (2021) reporting that nearly 36% of children under five are stunted due to malnutrition, and 14% suffer from acute malnutrition. Access to basic healthcare remains limited in many rural areas, leading to high maternal and child mortality rates.
Why it needs attention
Health is the foundation of productivity and progress. Without proper nutrition and healthcare, individuals cannot fully participate in society. Jonoshakti’s health initiatives focus on improving maternal and child health, combating malnutrition, and providing essential medical services. By ensuring access to healthcare, we can improve life expectancy and overall quality of life for vulnerable populations.
