Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
- The Children Act, 2013 is the primary legislation in Bangladesh that provides comprehensive legal protection for children, including their health and welfare.
- It specifically addresses the rights and safeguards of children, ensuring access to necessary healthcare services.
- This act includes provisions relevant to dental healthcare as part of child welfare, mandating protection from neglect and ensuring proper medical attention.
- Other acts focus more narrowly on juvenile justice, sexual offences, or labor issues, but do not broadly cover children's healthcare.
