Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship between health issues and socio-economic status in the Teesta Breakage Area of Bangladesh. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we collected and analyzed data from diverse sources, including health records, surveys, and interviews with local residents. Our findings reveal a complex interplay of factors influencing health outcomes, including access to healthcare, environmental conditions, and economic disparities. The study highlights specific health challenges faced by the community and explores how these challenges intersect with varying socio-economic statuses. Additionally, we identify potential interventions to address health disparities and promote well-being in the Teesta Breakage Area. The insights gained from this research contribute to the broader understanding of health dynamics in marginalized regions, providing a foundation for targeted policy and intervention strategies.
