Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Maleque said the doctors should have the mentality to provide services at rural areas to ensure health care to marginalised people.
“Shortage of human resources was the major obstacle to ensuring smooth health care services for the people…We are recruiting doctors phase by phase but they should also have the mentality to work in rural areas to serve the grassroots’ people,” he said.
He said this on Tuesday while speaking as the chief guest at an ambulance distribution programme at Health Directorate office, said a press release.
