Bangladesh Health Minister Sardar Md. Sakhawat Hossain announced that disciplinary measures will be taken against government doctors found absent from their workplaces during official hours. He made the statement on Thursday afternoon during a press briefing at the Ministry of Health conference room.
The minister cited the recent dismissal of Dr. Rajesh Majumdar, a physician at the 250-bed Shariatpur District Hospital, who was terminated for signing the attendance register and then attending patients at a private clinic during office hours. The minister urged other doctors to learn from this example and warned that political affiliation would not be accepted as an excuse for absenteeism.
He further stated that any government doctor found absent during official hours in the future could face license suspension and other disciplinary actions, reinforcing the ministry’s stance on maintaining accountability within the public healthcare system.
