    Abstract

    Using empirical data collected from a rural area of Bangladesh, this paper examines the relative importance of availability of health care resources on infant death. Following many health care studies, this paper hypothesizes that the likelihood of infant death is a function of accessibility to different types of health facilities and personnel. Both univariate and multivariate analyses of data indicate that the distance to a qualified physician of Western medicine exerts significant influence on infant deaths. Other variables considered are distance to Upazila Health Complex (UHC), Family Welfare Center (FWC), and non-qualified doctors.
