Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami central executive member and Dhaka South secretary Dr. Shafiqul Islam Masud stated that negligence and suffering of patients in government hospitals will not be tolerated. He emphasized that ensuring healthcare for every citizen is a state responsibility. Dr. Masud made these remarks on Saturday, May 17, during the monthly coordination meeting of Community Health Care Providers (CHCP) at the Bauphal Upazila Health Complex auditorium, where he attended as the chief guest.

He urged all healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, to act responsibly and humanely so that no patient faces neglect or denial of service at hospitals or community clinics. Stressing transparency in the distribution of government-supplied medicines, he warned that any irregularity, corruption, or favoritism would face strict legal action. Dr. Masud added that efforts are ongoing to improve grassroots healthcare quality and accessibility for ordinary citizens.

The meeting was presided over by Bauphal Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Abdur Rauf, with local health officials and CHCPs in attendance.
