Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis Secretary General Maulana Jalaluddin Ahmad has called on the government to reconsider its decision to close Ad-Din Hospital following the deaths of six newborns. In a statement issued to the media on Friday, he urged authorities to immediately resume the hospital’s medical operations while ensuring justice through a fair investigation. He expressed condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for the deceased infants.

Ahmad described the incident as deeply tragic and emphasized that the real culprits must be identified and punished through a transparent investigation. He criticized the June 11 decision to shut down the entire hospital, saying it has caused severe suffering for hundreds of admitted patients and many low- and middle-income people who rely on its affordable services. He argued that closing an entire institution is not a lasting solution to medical negligence.

He further urged the government to strengthen accountability, safety, and quality control in the health sector through long-term measures while allowing Ad-Din Hospital to continue operations under strict supervision.
