Nasim warns errant doctors again

Dhaka, Feb 5 (UNB) – Issuing a warning to the doctors working in rural areas, Health Minister Mohammad Nasim on Wednesday said stern actions will be taken against those who will be found absent in their workplaces.

 

“If the agricultural officials and upazila officers can attend regularly their offices then why our doctors cannot do that?” he added.

 

The Health Minister said this while talking to reporters after two meetings with a delegation of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) and Paribar Parikalpana Peshajibi Samonnay Parishad at the secretariat.

 

Nasim, also a presidium member of the ruling Awami League, urged the physicians not to indulge in corruption. “We will have to ensure better healthcare services by making our workplaces free from corruption,” he added.

 

“We don’t want to take action against you. You will have to be aware of your responsibilities,” he said.

 

The minister urged the doctors to remain present in their workplaces for ensuring better health services to people.
