Health Minister Dr Samanta Lal Sen asked local administration and representatives to provide information to the health ministry on fake doctors to stop malpractice across the country.
“It is not only the health ministry’s responsibility, the members of parliament and local government representatives have a significant role to play in this,” the minister said after visiting the Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College on Thursday (7 March).
“Local representatives should visit the hospitals and find out the problems and submit a report to us, we will take action,” he added.
During his visit, the health minister expressed dissatisfaction with the condition in which the patients were kept at the hospital.
“The problem that I have identified is that there is a shortage of manpower. If we could provide treatment in the Upazila level hospital properly, patients will not have to lie on the floor for treatment,” he added.
Saying that the problem will not be solved in a single day, he added, “We will have to resolve these problems in phases.”
