Document available on the Bangladesh country page on targeting the poor to enhance uptake of services and contribute to Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
The Sustainable Development Goals’ UHC target implies that every person should have access to quality health care without suffering financial hardship, including the poor, marginalized and disadvantaged. It is important to ensure that social protection mechanisms are designed and targeted to specifically reach these populations. Bangladesh has rich experience in implementing a large number of social safety net programs that rely on targeting as a key operational tool. This qualitative review looks at pro-poor targeting strategies for UHC in Bangladesh, and provides recommendations for improved and operationally effective targeting.
