History

[edit]

In the 1970s, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare had two divisions but they were combined in 1985 for efficiency. On 16 March 2017, the government of Bangladesh established the Medical Education And Family Welfare Division and Health Service Division through the bifurcation of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.[6][7]
