Staff Reporter:
State Minister for Health and Family Welfare Dr. M A Muhit has said the government is working to bring healthcare services to people’s doorsteps as Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has already giv-en instructions in this regard.
He made the remarks while responding to questions from journalists after inspecting the Bangla-desh Institute of Health Management and the new building of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in Savar yesterday.
Dr Muhit said the government wants to restructure the country’s health system to ensure healthcare for the people.
“The government wants to resolve the country’s healthcare problems through realistic plans and initiatives, not merely through political statements or rhetoric,” he said.
The government is working to resolve the accumulated problems caused by the neglect of institu-tions and deprivation of the people over the past nearly 17 years, as well as the crises created in all sectors and institutions, he said.
Local lawmaker (Dhaka-19) Dr Dewan Md Salahuddin Babu, Savar Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Saiful Islam, Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr Fazle Bari, local leaders and various officials were present, among others.
