Upgrade Kurmitola General Hospital to College
The Kurmitola General Hospital, equipped with 500 beds, was set up at Kurmitola near Dhaka cantonment three years ago. Within this short span of time, it has earned a name in serving poor patients.
There is a lack of qualified physicians in the country. We need more and more doctors to serve our 160 million population. Meanwhile, a medical college needs a hospital to teach students how to apply their medical education outside of the classroom. It is my suggestion that introducing a medical college with the Kurmitola hospital will prove beneficial for the society. As the hospital is in Dhaka, acquiring qualified faculty members will also be relatively easy. I therefore urge the government to consider this proposition on an urgent basis.
