South Asia: Bangladesh: Second Urban Primary Health Care Project
Siddique, Abu Bakr; Win, Hayman | June 2011

Urban primary health care (PHC) has been a neglected subsector in Bangladesh. The urban population has been growing rapidly, mostly because of rural–urban migration by the poor and the vulnerable. The number of poor urban households is increasing. Studies have shown that the health indicators of the urban poor are worse than those of the rural poor because of poorer living conditions and limited urban PHC
