Wednesday, 5 March 2014


Information Minister Hasanul Huq Inu Tuesday said that he will put his best efforts to extend governmental facilities for treatment of Hemophilia patients so that they can lead a normal life, reports BSS.
"I would appeal to the cabinet to give some special facilities to the patients so that they can live a normal life as well as contribute to the development of the country."
The minister said this while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion on 'Hemophilia Patients and Human Rights' at the National Press Club, organised by Hemophilia and Health Care Trust and Hemophilia Welfare Association.
He said that he would request the cabinet for introducing identification card, special allowance, health insurance, tax-free medicine import for the Hemophilia patients.
State Minister for Social Welfare Promod Mankin said Hemophilia is a deadly disease and therefore it is important to create awareness among people about it.
The Information Minister also suggested showing documentary films on television channels to create awareness about the disease. "The country and society as a whole should take initiatives for treatment of the patients beside the family members", he added.
