The United States is providing $2.4 million in health equipment and supplies to Bangladesh's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to strengthen maternal, newborn, and child health services nationwide. US Ambassador Brent T. Christensen presented maternal and newborn care training models to Panchagarh Sadar Hospital Civil Surgeon Dr. Md. Mizanur Rahman, said a press release. The broader U.S. contribution — newborn warmers and breathing equipment, therapeutic food for severely malnourished children, and supplies to keep vaccines effective — is reaching hospitals and health centers nationwide, including hard-to-reach areas, through US-funded partners FHI 360, Jhpiego, JSI, and UNICEF.
