Bangladesh’s Health Minister Sardar Md. Sakhawat Hossain announced that a government doctor’s medical license has been suspended for six months after he was found treating private patients during official duty hours. The minister said the action was taken to maintain discipline in the health sector and ensure accountability among government physicians. The announcement came on Thursday, March 5, 2026, during a press conference at the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
The accused, Dr. Rajesh Majumdar, a junior consultant (pediatrics) at a district hospital, was caught on camera on February 26 visiting a private chamber while on government duty. Following the incident, the ministry issued a show-cause notice, suspended his license, and initiated departmental proceedings. The minister stated that similar actions would be taken against any government doctor found engaging in private practice during official hours.
He added that surveillance has been strengthened to detect such irregularities, including possible intelligence operations. The minister emphasized that the goal is to ensure patient care in public hospitals and improve doctors’ sense of responsibility.
