This quantitative study identifies and prioritizes essential healthcare services for developing a private start-up healthcare hub in Laxmipasha, Bangladesh, a rural community with significant gaps in healthcare access. Using secondary data from national and international sources, the research analyzed disease burden, population characteristics, and service availability to determine the most urgent health priorities. A structured, evidence-based framework was used to evaluate services based on mortality and morbidity, service gaps, and potential health impact. The findings indicate that Maternal and Child Health (MCH), Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) management, and infectious disease control represent the most critical priorities for initial implementation. The study also proposes a phased, scalable model emphasizing workforce development, digital health integration, community engagement, and financial sustainability. By aligning data-driven prioritization with strategic management principles, this research provides a practical blueprint for strengthening rural healthcare systems. The results contribute to the field of applied business research by offering an adaptable model for effective healthcare investment, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability in low-resource settings.
Keywords: Healthcare service prioritization, rural health systems, service delivery, Laxmipasha, Bangladesh, data-driven strategy, healthcare management, sustainability, community engagement, operational planning.
