Industries Minister Dilip Barua has stressed the need for developing herbal and Unani treatment methods to reach healthcare services to the doorsteps of the people.
"People of many developed countries have been preparing to take herbal and Unani treatments instead of allopathic medicine, as it has no side effects. We can ensure healthcare service among the people at grassroots level in Bangladesh by modernising the treatment," he said.
The minister said this while addressing a workshop jointly organised by Bangladesh Herbal Medicine Industry Association (BHMIA) and Medicinal Plants and Herbal Product Business Promotion Council (MPHP-BPC) in the city Tuesday, reports UNB.
BHMIA President Dr Selim Mohammad Shahjahan presided over the workshop.
