In Bangladesh, since 2009, establishment of 14 000 community clinics (CCs) for every 6000 population across the country brings health care to the community doorstep. Now people can avail of health, family planning and nutrition services under one roof and within half-an-hour walking distance from their homes, even in remote areas. The clinics have contributed significantly to the improvement of the overall antenatal and postnatal care in Bangladesh. It will be provided counseling on reproductive health and consequences of early marriage, and also supply contraceptives as well as care for pregnant women. All kinds of treatment such as diarrhoea, pneumonia and other childhood infections are to be provided here. Now government has a plan to construct more 500 community clinics across the country. Three hundred will be built with financial assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The rest 200 community clinics will be built in phases under the sector program. The work on construction of 226 community clinics is now nearing completion.
