Member of Parliament Mosammat Shamsunnahar visited the Sitakunda Upazila Health Complex in Chattogram on Wednesday morning to inspect its deteriorating condition. The nearly 70-year-old facility continues to provide medical services despite severe infrastructure decay, shortage of doctors and staff, limited government allocation, and overcrowding. Upon arrival at 11:30 a.m., she was received by Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Altaf Hossain and toured various wards, including emergency and outpatient units, speaking with patients and their families.

Hospital authorities briefed the MP on the building’s fragile state, the shortage of medical personnel and equipment, and the growing patient load. Dr. Altaf Hossain stated that the hospital’s wards are in a dilapidated condition and that resources have not increased in proportion to patient demand. Shamsunnahar expressed satisfaction with the hospital’s cleanliness and the dedication of its doctors.

The MP assured that she would work with local representatives, including MP Professor Aslam Chowdhury, to address infrastructure, staffing, and equipment needs through coordination with relevant authorities.
