Chaired by BMA Divisional Committee President Dr Mostofa Alam Nannu, the meeting was addressed, among others, by former mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation AHM Khairuzzaman Liton, BMA Central Committee President Dr Mostofa Jalal Mohiuddin and Secretary General Dr Ehteshamul Haque Chowdhury.
Nasim said the government appointed 6,500 doctors in 2014 and it has a plan to appoint 10,000 more doctors in the near future.
He said the problem of nurses has already been resolved through appointment of 10,000 nurses.
