Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Ariful Haque Chowdhury stated that modern treatment and rehabilitation can enable patients to return to normal life without medicine. He described it as a major achievement for doctors and a source of joy for patients. The minister made these remarks on Saturday afternoon while inaugurating the Advanced Rehab and Wellness Center in Shahjalal Upashahar, Sylhet.

He emphasized that the government will continue full support to make the country’s healthcare services more sustainable and advanced. Chowdhury also noted that the expansion of physiotherapy and rehabilitation medicine marks positive progress. According to him, physiotherapy, once little known in Bangladesh, has now become an important part of the healthcare system.

The event was attended by the center’s chairman Dr. Md. Almahir Ferdous, chief medical adviser Professor Dr. N. M. Kiran, and professionals from various sectors including doctors, media workers, and health staff.
