Essential health services, heavily affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic, are gradually resumed all over the country, ensuring that people receive the needed healthcare.
Like in many countries around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented impact on essential health services in Bangladesh, leading to a drastic reduction in utilization of the major essential health services across all levels of health systems during the period April to May 2020. This findings are based on the secondary analysis of routine health data from public health facilities in Bangladesh reported in the DHIS2 platform.
