DHAKA, Oct 22, 2018 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said the

The prime minister said this while distributing ambulances and other

The premier handed over the keys of 33 ambulances, ten water ambulances and
98 jeeps to different upazila health complexes.
She also distributed the keys of 200 motorcycles for giving those to field
level statisticians of the health department.
Health Minister Mohammad Nasim also spoke on the occasion while state
minister for health Zahid Maleque was present.

services at the doorsteps of the people as the number of beds was increased

upazila levels for government officials. The public works department has
already been asked to prepare a plan in this regard, she said.
