Abstract
Bangladesh is one of the poorest nations of the world, having over 43% of the population living below the national poverty line and sharing the major burden of the disease. Substantial quantitative and qualitative data have documented close relationships between ill-health, vulnerability and poverty. One innovate strategy in battling the interface of poverty and health is Micro-Health Insurance which can be defined as a type of insurance where accessibility to essential health services is made available to individuals and families, who are unable to afford formal health insurance schemes, through affordable premiums and low prices for health services.
