Staff Reporter :
Health Ministry on Thursday transferred 23 staff and officials from different sectors in a bid to root out syndicated corruption in the health sector.
The health ministry issued the transfer orders of the “corrupt” officials, based on findings and recommendations of the Anti-Corruption Commission on an urgent basis.
In its recommendation, the ACC said some corrupt, authoritarian and influential officers and staffers of different offices of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS)
have created a strong nexus, taking advantage of their long-time working at the same place.
The Health Ministry has also formed seven enquiry teams to look into the reasons behind the absence of physicians at different hospitals and health service centres in Dhaka, Pabna, Kushtia, Mymensingh, Tangail, Dinajpur, Rajshahi and Rangpur.
The move came after the anti-corruption watchdog carried out surprise visits at 11 government hospitals and health service centres on January 22 and found 92 doctors out of 230 absent at their respective workplaces.
