Feasibility of Devising an Equity Based Resource Allocation System in Bangladesh

Abstract: 

The article identifies the key issues involved in the development of an equity focused resource allocation system for the public health sector in Bangladesh. This paper argues that fair allocation of resources for health care should be in relation to needs of the population in different parts of Bangladesh. It reviews the literatures on the resource allocation system in U.K and Canada. The difficulties and limitations of the needs-based methodology are discussed. In this light, it explores the opportunities and constraints of introducing the needs based methodology in Bangladesh.
