This book aims to help policy makers, inside and outside Bangladesh's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and its programme managers, to develop and implement effective and timely responses that reduce both population-level risk factors and the noncommunicable diseases (NCD) burden in Bangladesh. It also outlines policy options and strategic priorities to help stimulate policy dialogue with stakeholders to tackle the NCD burden through strengthening health service provision.
