Industry Virticle
About 22.5 million people in Bangladesh have been found to be suffering from about 13 types of mental disorders in a government survey conducted in 2019. Besides the adult population, 13.6% of children aged between 7 and 17 were also found to be suffering from mental disorders. More alarmingly, the survey found that 92.3% of the adult respondents and 94.5% of child respondents diagnosed with different mental disorders do not receive any treatment. Although Bangladesh has been identified as a country with a vulnerable record in the mental health care sector by the international community, it spends only 0.44% of the national health budget in this sector and has 0.073 psychiatrists per 100,000 population. So, there is a critical need to cater to the mental health needs of Bangladesh and thus, it is also important to look at the current offerings in the mental health sector of Bangladesh.
