title: Factors influencing child mortality in Bangladesh and their implications for the national health programme.
abstract: "This study attempts to estimate by indirect estimation technique the levels of infant and child mortality in Bangladesh using the 1989 Bangladesh Fertility Survey (BFS).  The levels of infant and child mortality obtained from the 1989 BFS indicate substantial improvements in child survival, although the fall in infant mortality has been faster than the fall in child mortality."
