Wednesday, 26 May 2010
Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina Tuesday urged the country's physicians and surgeons to render health services properly and timely to the people living in the villages, reports UNB.
"People living outside the capital are also human beings and they have also the right to get health services. We'll give you everything for your professional development. In exchange, we want you to render health services properly to the rural people," she said.
The PM was addressing a function arranged at the auditorium of Bangladesh College of Physicians and Surgeons (BCPS) after laying the foundation stone of a new 10-storied building of the college on its Mohakhali campus Tuesday.
Hasina also directed the authorities concerned to maintain quality of medical services at the government hospitals, particularly to enhance services of emergency units.
She told the doctors that she understands it well why all officials want to get posting in the capital city.
"I know that in Dhaka food, accommodation and other facilities are good. But, if all stay in the capital, then what will happen to the rural people - the major portion of the population," she said.
The PM requested the senior physicians to encourage their juniors to work in the grassroots level to render proper health services to the villagers.
She also said that health services on many occasions have been in such condition that doctors were not found in the hospitals in upazila and even at district levels. "I urge the doctors to be more respectful to rules and regulations of your profession."
She reminded the doctors that the masses have spent a lot of money behind every medical student to make them doctors.
