The government of Bangladesh is set to open five specialized 200-bed children's hospitals within the next six months in Khulna, Barishal, Rangpur, Rajshahi, and Cumilla. According to officials, the hospitals in Barishal and Khulna are expected to begin operations in early August, with all necessary preparations nearly complete. Each hospital will feature intensive care units (ICUs), central air conditioning, and space for future expansion. Procurement of furniture and medical equipment has already been finalized.
Health Minister Sardar Md. Sakhawat Hossain has inspected the hospital sites in Khulna, Barishal, and Cumilla, confirming that the Barishal hospital will open on August 1. Prime Minister Tareq Rahman has instructed the Public Administration Ministry to ensure recruitment of 1,475 staff members per hospital. The initiative follows the Prime Minister’s directive on May 10 to operationalize unused children’s hospitals across six divisions.
Officials indicated that the Rajshahi hospital will begin with outpatient services within three months, while other facilities will gradually expand services after launch.
