Abstract

Health related surveys are important as well as critical tool to measure a community’s health status, health behavior, and risk factors concerned with health issues. These surveys also help to evaluate the quality of health care level received by the people. By conducting health surveys from time to time, the patterns and beliefs about health and treatment strategies can be identified. The national policy makers can use those survey data to better understand main health problems in the country and correct issues that are obstacles for human and economic development. The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is a World Health Organization (WHO) program that aims to make all the essential vaccines available to all children regardless of nation, region, and socio-economic status. To make the program fruitful, all the United Nations’ member states, the national governments make their policies for vaccination programs using the guidelines of EPI. Bangladesh is a south Asian country with a condensed population having different national problems. Ensuring primary health care to each and every individual is a challenging task for the government. The current study was aimed to observe the situation of primary health care system in an upazilla of the district Netrokona. The EPI was considered as a parameter of primary health care system. The data gathered from the study may be used by the government to fix the associated problems and to improve the health care system.
