对孟加拉国的保健诊所进行了不事先宣布的访问，以确定在其指定岗位上工作的医疗专业人员的比例。所有工作类别和设施类型的平均缺勤率为35%。大型诊所的医生缺勤率为40%，而只有一名医生的小型分中心的缺勤率为74%。医疗提供者是否住在卫生设施附近，提供者的时间机会成本、道路通行和农村电气化与缺勤率和模式高度相关。
Unannounced visits were made to health clinics in Bangladesh to determine what proportion of medical professionals were at their assigned post. Averaged over all job categories and types of facility, the absentee rate was 35 percent. The absentee rate for physicians was 40 percent at the larger clinics and 74 percent at the smaller subcenters with a single physician. Whether the medical provider lives near the health facility, the opportunity cost of the provider's time, road access, and rural electrification are highly correlated with the rate and pattern of absenteeism.
