Bangladesh Health Watch and MRDI implemented the project 'Journalists' Capacity Building on Health Reporting to help journalists develop the capacity to look at health issues in a broader policy perspective, along with skills to deal with evidence-based information, research analyzing capacity, and also a great hold on how to interpret medical jargons easily to public.

One of the major objectives were, due to a lack of focus and initiatives to improve their skills, many district correspondents of national news outlets in Bangladesh do not have this understanding. The mentorship process started with 4 days of residential training and two months of mentorship by experts in health journalism. The training was facilitated by public health experts, investigative journalism experts and government officials etc.

After completion of the mentorship process, each of the mentees produced 1 investigative story in their reputed media house. Sixteen stories have been published including one editorial.
