After a three-day sit-in at the Central Shaheed Minar, Bangladesh’s health assistants have announced a new continuous protest in front of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) office in Mohakhali starting Tuesday. The Bangladesh Health Assistant Association’s chief coordinator, Md. Wasiuddin Rana, made the announcement on Monday afternoon, ending the previous sit-in. The health assistants have been on strike since Saturday, demanding implementation of six key points, including revision of recruitment rules, elimination of pay disparities, and recognition of technical status. Their work stoppage has led to the closure of 120,000 outreach EPI vaccination centers nationwide, disrupting immunization for around 150,000 mothers and children daily. Protesters claim they were forced into the strike due to long-standing neglect and unfulfilled promises by the health authorities. They warned that any health risks resulting from halted vaccinations would be the responsibility of the Directorate and the Ministry of Health.
