A former health official says vaccination is not working effectively and urges coverage above 95%, wider age eligibility and regular national campaigns. Cancer Care: The government plans eight divisional cancer institutes, 17 linear accelerators and five robotic surgery machines, alongside expanded HPV vaccination and screening awareness. Dengue: Bangladesh recently recorded 2,249 hospitalisations and seven deaths in a day, its highest daily case count of 2026. Health Funding: The health ministry spent less than 2% of its development budget in the first quarter, despite a near-doubling of its allocation. Vaccine Production: During his Japan visit, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman discussed possible cooperation on a vaccine plant to help control infectious diseases.
