Survey on National List of Essential Medicine of Bangladesh

The Essential Medicines List (EML) is a set of medicines identified as essential for meeting the priority healthcare needs of the population. These medicines are selected because they are safe, efficacius, cost-effective, and necessary for the prevention and treatment of the most common and serious health conditions.

To update the 2016 EML, the Government of Bangladesh has established a national task force in August 2025, which has prepared a draft list. Your feedback as a practicing physician is critical to ensure that the updated EML is evidence-based, clinically relevant, and aligned with the needs of patients in Bangladesh.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary. All information you provide will be kept confidential, and results will be analyzed and reported only in aggregated form. Completing the survey should take about 10 - 15 minutes.
