Grounded prescription
Stand Up a Standing Outbreak-Response System for Measles and HFMD Before the Next WaveBangladesh faces recurring childhood measles and hand-foot-mouth-disease waves with no live surveillance feed, so DGHS should pre-position a standing detect-confirm-respond protocol rather than improvising each outbreak.

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 175, 874, 8,735, 87,350. 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.
