Measles emergency: Bangladesh’s measles outbreak keeps worsening, with four more children dying in 24 hours and the death toll crossing 650; DGHS reports thousands of new suspected cases and hundreds of confirmed infections, pushing hospitals and families to breaking point. Hospital access crisis: After DGHS cancelled Ad-din Medical College Hospital’s licence over the deaths of six newborns, the hospital stopped outpatient services and new admissions, leaving many patients unable to get care while treatment continues only for those already admitted. Health budget execution: Civil society and health experts say the FY27 health allocation (Tk 69,409 crore) is a big step, but success depends on a clear execution roadmap—otherwise funds may remain unspent. Primary care expansion: Parliament updates show five projects underway to expand primary education, while health system capacity is also being boosted through ICU rollouts in district hospitals. Trade & safety for health goods: NBR allows ISO-accredited private labs to test imported chemicals to speed customs clearance while protecting public health and safety. Disability support gap: A coalition of disability rights groups says the FY27 budget still falls short for persons with disabilities despite small increases in allowances. Budget-linked health incentives: The proposed income tax exemption for donations to 11 approved charities includes groups working on cancer, diabetes, disability and child welfare.
