block

City Desk :
Sensible and effective role of the journalists, working in print, electronic and online media, can be the best ways of bringing the patients suffering from obstetric fistula under treatment and rehabilitation.
The patients are getting the support of treatment and rehabilitation free of cost as many of the government and non-government organisations concerned are working in this field setting the target of freeing the country from obstetric fistula by 2030.
 So, utmost emphasis should be given on reaching the messages about the cost- free treatment and rehabilitation facilities to the patients suffering from the disease in different parts of the region, particularly in its remote and hard-to-reach areas, reports BSS.
Experts and development activists came up with the observation while addressing an advocacy meeting with print and electronic media journalists on obstetric fistula at Taz Community Centre in Puthiya upazila of Rajshahi district recently.
