Despite over 30 healthcare facilities, including health centers and private clinics, challenges persist in saving children&#8217;s lives. The Baliakandi Upazila Health Complex (BUHC), the main referral hospital, offers critical services such as maternal and child health, reproductive health, nutritional activity services and mental health, making it a key site for CHAMPS&#8217; facility-based data-driven initiatives. Additionally, CHAMPS works with facilities like Faridpur Medical College Hospital (FMCH) and Zahid Memorial Children Hospital (ZMCH). In collaboration with implementation partners like the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Diseases, Bangladesh (icddr,b), Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), and the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), CHAMPS aims to foster a hopeful future, improving child health outcomes through shared knowledge and innovative data-to-action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light dots-bg-right cover-top-align has-black-color has-text-color\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-80 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#f4436c\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading text-center\">Our Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center w-65 margin-auto\">In Bangladesh, CHAMPS positively impacts over 216,000 lives in the Baliakandi sub-district.
