Most ordinary people are deprived of fair medical care: President

BanglaPress Desk: Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir stated that the majority of ordinary people are deprived of fair medical care. Accessing healthcare has become difficult for the common person.

He made these remarks on Friday (November 13) at the inaugural ceremony of the first international conference organized by the Bangladesh Prosthodontic Society, held at the Hotel InterContinental in the capital.

Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir emphasized that everyone must work toward fulfilling the government's commitment to making healthcare accessible to all. He noted that if the health sector can overcome long-standing issues of corruption, waste, and mismanagement, public trust in the healthcare system will be restored.

Urging physicians to contribute from their respective positions toward establishing a universal, people-friendly, and affordable healthcare system, he said, "Let us build a Bangladesh where no one is left behind due to a lack of medical care—a nation where every home is filled with genuine, joyful laughter."

He further added that it is essential to set aside conflicting ideologies and focus on the nation’s well-being. Everyone must work to meet the people's aspirations for change.
