Information and Education for Health (IEH) activities in the Health and Population Sector began in 1958 when the Bureau of Health Education was established under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
The Bureau of Health Education has contributed significantly to the health education and promotion of the people in Bangladesh. Over the years it has organized activities to foster public information and education for health, including school-based education programs and interventions on other basic health issues for the population.
