Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md. Sakhawat Husain conducted surprise inspections of several healthcare facilities in Satkhira today. The minister visited Tala Upazila Health Complex, Satkhira Medical College Hospital, and Satkhira Sadar Hospital, touring various wards, the kitchen, and washrooms, and speaking with patients.

After the inspections, the minister addressed journalists, noting that Bangladesh faces a shortage of doctors relative to the growing patient population. He criticized the previous authoritarian government for neglecting the healthcare sector and failing to recruit enough physicians.

To improve healthcare services, the minister announced plans to upgrade 31-bed and 50-bed hospitals into 101-bed facilities. Additionally, the number of beds at kidney dialysis centers in all medical college hospitals and district hospitals will be increased, and new dialysis centers will be established where they do not currently exist.

Physiotherapy services and modern pathology facilities will be introduced at every Upazila Health Complex. In the future, these hospitals will also be provided with 10-bed kidney dialysis units. The government will soon begin issuing e-Health Cards to enhance healthcare services and patient access.

These measures aim to significantly improve healthcare infrastructure and services in Bangladesh, addressing critical shortages and enhancing patient care across the country.
