Zahid Maleque said the present government under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina has attained a remarkable success in healthcare services.

In response to some demands placed before the minister for further improvement of RMCH and RMC he told the audience that all the existing demands will be fulfilled within near future.
