Fully vaccinating 70% of the population against COVID is no small feat. A video commissioned by USAID Bangladesh marked the occasion.

Two centuries ago, cholera spread across the world from its ancestral home in the Ganges River Delta in present day Bangladesh. It has since killed millions worldwide. Over 50 years ago, USAID joined an international coalition of development partners in Bangladesh to save the lives of the 5 million children globally who were dying every year due to cholera and other diarrheal diseases. The solution was ultimately a simple one: oral rehydration solution, widely known as “ORS,” is a home-grown innovation from Bangladesh that has saved more than 70 million lives worldwide over the past 50 years. How did the country at the epicenter of the world’s cholera nightmare come to lead the world in vanquishing diarrhea? And what can we learn from its success?

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death in Bangladesh, claiming the lives of 115 people every day. Rapid diagnosis, effective treatment and follow up close to home are essential to stopping the spread, especially in cases of drug resistant TB.
