The United States is supporting Bangladesh's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare through UNICEF with an emergency measles-rubella vaccination campaign to deliver over 21.9 million doses, protecting 1.2 million children under age five.
This effort reflects the Donald Trump administration's America First Global Health Strategy – preventing disease outbreaks abroad.
It also keeps America and Bangladesh safe, strengthens global health systems, and protects communities from infectious diseases, said the US Embassy in Dhaka on Wednesday.
