A mobile court in Chuadanga’s Damurhuda upazila sealed Life Care Medical Center in Karpasdanga on Saturday for operating illegally and in an unhygienic environment. The court fined the center’s owner, Mamunur Rashid Shawon, Tk 200,000 under the Consumer Rights Protection Act 2009. The operation took place from late morning to afternoon across Karpasdanga, Damurhuda Sadar Union, and Darshana municipality.

According to court sources, none of the individuals working as nurses at the clinic were registered, and untrained staff were administering injections and collecting test samples. Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Shahin Alam stated that the clinic lacked a valid license, had unsafe surgical and post-operative practices, and maintained a hazardous environment. Damurhuda Upazila Health Officer Dr. Moshior Rahman said expired reagents and unclean facilities were also found.

Chuadanga Civil Surgeon Dr. Hadi Zia Uddin Ahmed confirmed that similar drives will continue under new directives from the Ministry of Health to ensure compliance among private healthcare providers.
