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.
At Panchagarh District Hospital, U.S. Ambassador Brent T. Christensen presented
maternal and newborn care training models to Civil Surgeon Dr. Md. Mizanur
Rahman.

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 U.S.-funded partners FHI 360, Jhpiego, JSI,
and UNICEF.

This support advances the America First Global Health Strategy, using practical
partnerships to strengthen health systems and promote American health innovation.
The United States remains committed to working with the Government of
Bangladesh to expand access to quality health care nationwide.
