Bangladesh has made some of the greatest improvements in infant and maternal mortality ever seen, despite modest income growth. Also Bangladesh has the fastest prolonged reductions in childhood stunting in recorded history. Anisul Karim explains how all these happened through a butterfly effect of small changes starting with a focus on female education.
Mohd Anisul Karim is a doctor, health and nutrition researcher. After clinical internships, he wanted to scale preventive measures for the masses and joined ICDDR’B as a Research Fellow, in order to leverage his efforts to combat one of the scourges of the developing world - childhood undernutrition. Currently evaluating several cost-effective interventions, the Transform Nutrition consortium, where he is one of the co-investigators, will generate high quality evidence over the next 5 or 6 years that will help shape future national and international public health policies around the world.
