Mortality Burden · Bangladesh

NCDs Are Bangladesh's
Leading Cause of Death

70%+ of all deaths

Hypertension, diabetes and other NCDs account for over 70% of all deaths in Bangladesh, making them the country's most critical public health challenge.

Disrupting free medicine supply at NCD Corners puts millions of lives at risk — disproportionately affecting low-income patients who have no alternative.
