Grounded prescription
Make Cardiovascular Disease a Named Line in the Health Budget: A Primary-Care-First Plan for BangladeshCardiovascular disease drives about 30% of all deaths in Bangladesh with a rising young-adult heart-attack rate; DGHS should anchor a primary-care detection and treatment system, supported by DPHE on environmental risk, to bend the curve.

Bangladesh Health System: Remarkable Gains, Persistent Gaps, and the Path to Universal CoverageThe assessment compares the latest source observation with BDPolicyLab analytical monitoring bands. For this detector, higher readings indicate greater stress; the internal analytical cutoffs are 10.0%, 15.0%, 20.0%, 25.0%. The score is a level-anchored piecewise-linear transformation with state bands at 20, 40, 60, and 85. The indicator's primary source is identified with the evidence in this card. Forecast ranges are published only as calibrated 80% predictive intervals with an explicit source time unit.
BDPolicyLab analytical classification based on the stated assessment basis. It is not an official agency designation.
No public forecast is shown because the validation or time-unit requirement was not met.
