In Bangladesh, the average life expectancy at birth is 74.7 years. The main causes of death are heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.

As a result, there is a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The major focus of the Ministry of Health is to minimize the disease burden and to improve the quality of life.

To achieve this, the Ministry has introduced various programs and initiatives. One of them is the “Bangladesh Herbal and Traditional Medicine Database”. This database contains all the herbs and traditional medicines that are used in Bangladesh. This database will be a useful guide for people who are interested in Bangladeshi medicine. It will also help the users to find out the correct dose of the medicine and the side effects.

Another important program is the “Herbal and Traditional Medicine Lab”.
