Portraying a vivid picturesque of development in the country, the minister said, “We are working relentlessly to reach health services to the doorsteps of common people, particularly to those poor. There will be no compromise on the matter.”
He said the country has been marching ahead under the courageous and farsighted leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Bangladesh would be transformed into a middle income state within a shortest possible time.
