Page 3 Type of Business Research Organization. Additional The Child Health Research Foundation (CHRF) was founded by a group of child health information researchers in Bangladesh in 2007 with a mission to improve child health in Bangladesh and other countries through quality research and education in order to facilitate the decision making on appropriate child health policies. The founder’s motivation to form CHRF came from the realization that developing countries like Bangladesh often lack good scientific evidence upon which rational and timely policy decisions can be created, this lack of information often results in poor use of the limited resources available for health. The scarcity of reliable evidence and informed advocacy in turn, discourages government and donors from investing in child health. To know more please visit www.chrfbd.org
