Despite Bangladesh's impressive strides in improving its economic and social development outcomes, the government still confronts health financing and service delivery challenges. In its review of the health system, this study highlights the limited fiscal space for implementing UHC in Bangladesh, particularly given low public spending for health and high out-of-pocket expenditure. The crisis in the country's human resources for health (HRH) compounds public health service delivery inefficiencies. As the government explores options to finance its UHC plan, it must recognize that reform of its service delivery system with particular focus on HRH has to be the centerpiece of any policy initiative. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 410 0$aWorld Bank Studies 606 $aMedical care$zBangladesh 606 $aHealth services accessibility$zBangladesh 606 $aNational health insurance 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aHealth services accessibility 615 0$aNational health insurance. 676 $a362.1095492 700 $aEl-Saharty$b Sameh $01684142 702 $aEl-Saharty$b Sameh 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819385203321 996 $aThe Path to Universal Health Coverage in Bangladesh$94078328 997 $aUNINA
