HEALTH OF THE NATION

With severe malnutrition threatening 68 per cent of all its children under 5 years, Bangladesh has been provided with a World Bank (WB) credit of US $59.8 million to improve nutrition. The fund will help set up a national nutritional programme which will design and implement plans for improving nutrition with the help of expertise from other non-governmental aid organisations. The 6 year credit will be given through the WB's International Finance Corporation.
