President Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said public confidence in the country’s healthcare system can be restored by eliminating longstanding corruption, wastage and mismanagement in the health sector.
He noted that ordinary people in Bangladesh are still largely deprived of equitable access to healthcare services.
The President made the remarks while inaugurating the first international conference of the Bangladesh Prosthodontic Society at a hotel in the capital on Friday.
He said everyone must work together to fulfil the government’s commitment to ensuring healthcare services for all. Conflicting views should be set aside, with national interests given priority, he added.
Calling on professionals to work beyond partisan politics, the President said everyone must fulfil their responsibilities to meet people’s expectations for change.
Addressing doctors, he urged them to contribute to building a universal, people-friendly and affordable healthcare system.
He also called for building a Bangladesh where no one is left behind due to a lack of medical treatment and every family can live with happiness and peace.
