    Open AccessMd Toufiq Hassan Shawon, Toufiq Hassan Shawon et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Health systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Bangladesh face persistent challenges in delivering timely and equitable care, often exacerbated by poor planning and inefficient resource allocation. Forecasting service utilization using routine health data can support more responsive and data-driven health system planning, yet such approaches remain under utilized in Bangladesh. By analyzing service utilization trends and projecti…

  • Assessing the feasibility and appropriateness of verbal autopsy using contact information of the deceased from burial records in urban Bangladesh

    Open AccessAniqa Tasnim Hossain, Ema Akter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2026

    Background: Bangladesh faces significant challenges in accurately documenting causes of death (COD), largely due to incomplete vital registration systems, which lack COD reporting. A substantial number of deaths occur outside health facilities, often without medical certification, leading to further gaps in mortality data. Verbal autopsy (VA) has emerged as a viable method in low-resource settings to bridge this gap. We aimed to explore the feasi…
