concerning issues of the world. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the situation of
childhood mortality and child nutritional status of Bangladesh with the comparative analysis and progress of
childhood mortality and child nutritional status from 1993 to 2014. Methodology: In this regard this paper
reviews the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys (BDHS) conducted in 1993-94, 1996-97, 1999-
2000, 2004, 2007, 2011 and 2014, which were analyzed on infant, child, under-five mortality and child
nutritional status in detail. Result: The evidences reflected in BDHSs show that infant, child and under-five
mortality in Bangladesh have declined steadily at least over the past years. However, differentials in trends
and patterns of childhood mortality and even child nutritional status by the demographic determinants have
not been explained elaborately. According to the 1993-1994 and the 2014 surveys found infant mortality two
times, child mortality sex times and under-five mortality rates three times declined in 2014 than those were
in 1993-94. On the contrary, stunning, wasting and underweight are also declined in 2014 comparatively
