The government is taking steps to recruit around 100,000 health workers to strengthen the country’s healthcare system, Health Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Husain told parliament on Tuesday.
Responding to a question, he said the initiative is part of efforts to ensure adequate manpower and improve the quality and continuity of health services nationwide.
The minister highlighted recent recruitment, saying thousands of doctors have already been appointed through different BCS batches. These include assistant surgeons and dental surgeons recruited in recent months.
He also informed the House that since the 2020–21 fiscal year, the government has allocated Tk 4,685.22 crore for Covid-19 vaccines and related equipment.
Of the total amount, Tk 4,394.08 crore was spent on vaccine procurement, while additional funds were used for syringes, transportation and shipping.
The minister said no complaints have been filed regarding vaccine procurement so far. However, he assured that any allegation would be properly reviewed and necessary action taken to ensure transparency.
Officials said the planned recruitment drive is expected to play a key role in improving healthcare delivery across the country.
