UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday reminded again the dodgy doctors of losing their jobs even if they do not stay at their places of posting for a certain period as per their service conditions.
“Condition is there, if the doctors do not stay (in place of posting) for a certain period, their jobs will not be made permanent, there won’t be any promotion for them… even there’ll be a threat of losing job,” she said.
The Prime Minister made the observations while addressing the high officials of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in her first visit to the Ministry after assuming office for the third time.
Health Minister Mohammad Nasim and Health Secretary MN Niazuddin also spoke on the occasion.
State Minister for Health and Family Welfare Zahid Malek, PM’s Principal Secretary Abdus Sobhan Sikder, PMO Secretary Md Abul Kalam Azad, Press Secretary AKM Shameem Chowdhury and other high officials of different bodies under the Ministry were present.
Sheikh Hasina said that medical universities would be set up gradually in all the
divisional cities, initially in Chittgaong and Rajshahi, apart from the existing lone Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in the capital.
“Medical universities would have to be set up in all the divisional cities to ensure high-standard training and education and we’ll be able to do that Insha-Allah.”
Regarding posting of the doctors, she directed the concerned authorities of the Ministry to give postings considering respective areas of the doctors so that they could feel the pressure of rendering healthcare services to the people of his or her respective areas.
The Prime Minister said that burn units would be set up gradually in all the divisional and district hospitals of the country, and directed the Health Ministry to complete the process of appointing manpower to the hospitals facing difficulties.
She also stressed ensuring nutrition alongside food security and creating awareness among people about balanced diet.
Mentioning that it is the constitutional responsibility of the government to provide healthcare services to the people, Hasina said that her government has been working relentlessly so that the future generations become healthy.
In this connection, she said that allocation in the proposed budget to the Health and Family Welfare Ministry has also increased by about three times when the AL-led grand alliance government took office in 2009.
The Prime Minister also directed the health officials and employees to discharge their duty with utmost integrity and sincerity. “You’re the servants of the people and you’re working with a commitment to serve the people,” she said.
