Chattogram Bureau :
Nursing and midwifery students have started a movement by blocking the road with three points to be realised and lifting of the suspension order of the Nursing Council examination.
On Sunday, they started the movement at the city’s Prabartak crossing . The three-point demands were that the ‘Patient Care Technology’ course under Bangladesh Technical Education Board cannot be equivalent to the nursing course, Family Welfare Inspectors (FWBs) cannot be given the status of midwives and the stay order on Nursing Council examination will be lifted within 48 hours, the protesters said Bangladesh Student Nurses and Midwives Joint Council Chattogram Mohanagar Branch Convener.
Aminul Islam told media that nursing and midwives students have come to study with qualifications.
There is also a difference in course curriculum between Bangladesh Nursing and Midwifery Council and Technical Patient Care Technology of Technical Education Board.
Besides, students have to study a total of 33 subjects in the whole three years.
The Family Welfare Inspector, on the other hand, passes SSC and studies only a handful of subjects and completes a course in 18 months, which is never equivalent to a Diploma in Midwifery course.
The protesters warned to keep the movement going on if the demand is not fulfilled, Nursing college sources said.
