Health Adviser Nurjahan Begum has announced that a 560-bed hospital for heart disease, kidney ailments, and cancer treatment has been approved for Rangpur. Although her government may not be able to start construction, she said the next administration will implement the project. Speaking on healthcare planning, Nurjahan criticized previous authorities for failing to ensure adequate manpower for hospitals, even when procuring medical equipment. “Hospitals need both equipment and staff. Without proper planning, we cannot suddenly make these facilities operational,” she said. She also confirmed that decisions regarding the location of a new hospital with Chinese support would be finalized after further site inspections. “The July revolution brought sacrifices, but those responsible for syndicates have not changed,” she remarked, stressing the need for systematic, step-by-step reform in the healthcare sector.
