A recent public opinion survey has revealed that an overwhelming 97 percent of citizens of the country favor free primary healthcare services.

The findings also highlighted overwhelming public demand for more accessible and affordable healthcare across the country.

The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) conducted the survey at the request of the Health Sector Reform Commission to assess public demand for healthcare reforms.

The study gathered data from approximately 8,256 citizens across the country.

The Health Sector Reform Commission (HSRC), established by the current interim government, has put forth its recommendations in a report recently to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.
