BHW started its journey with the publication of a series of biennial reports, Bangladesh Health Watch Report (BHWR), which identifies the most critical challenges to the health sector at a particular point in time and publishes insightful situation analyses leading to practical recommendations based on evidence from existing and primary research. The publication of well-recognised biennial reports is the main activity of BHW.

Bangladesh Health Watch published eight reports and the first report published in December 2006. The reports have been published on the issues: Sate of Health in Bangladesh (2006), Health Workforce (2007), Health Sector Governance (2009), Universal Health Coverage (2011), Urban Health Scenario in Bangladesh (2014), Non-Communicable Diseases (2016), Humanitarian Crisis in Rohingya Camps: A Health Perspective (2018-2019). COVID-19 in Bangladesh: The first two years and looking ahead (2020-2021), State of Professional Public Health Education in Bangladesh (2023-2024).
