Raipur Upazila Health Complex in Laxmipur has 98 vacant positions, including specialist doctors and nurses, severely affecting patient care. The hospital's operation theater has remained closed for three years due to staff and generator shortages, despite having modern equipment. Patients are forced to seek costly private services, impacting around 400,000 residents. While reports of the crisis are sent monthly to higher authorities, no improvements have been made. Only 18 doctors serve against 31 sanctioned posts, with no specialists currently appointed.

98 Positions Vacant Including Specialist Doctors, No Surgeries for 3 Years

The Raipur Upazila Health Complex in Laxmipur is grappling with a severe manpower crisis. A total of 98 positions, including those for specialist doctors, nurses, staff, and cleaners, remain vacant. Despite having a modern and fully equipped operation theater, no surgeries have been performed for the past three years. According to officials, the suspension of surgical operations is due to a shortage of doctors and fuel (for the generator).
