Over 10 million Bangladeshi children under 5 with no birth registration
A two-year-old resident of Dhaka, Madiyat Rahee, has taken all the doses of vaccination she needs but she still does not have a birth certificate
A two-year-old resident of Dhaka, Madiyat Rahee, has taken all the doses of vaccination she needs but she still does not have a birth certificate.
Her mother Rebeka Sultana, who is a school teacher, said she knew about the birth registration and certificate but did not do it as she felt it to be relatively unnecessary.
However, according to the Birth and Death Registration Rules 2018, all children need to be registered for free within 45 days of the birth. If the parents fail to do so, the government has kept a provision to register their child’s birth for a small fee.
