Dr. Samanta Lal Sen, Minister of Health and Family Welfare, emphasized his commitment to ensuring proper patient care and the protection of medical staff during his visit to Chattogram Medical College and Hospital (CMCH) today.

Speaking at a meeting with hospital authorities and on-duty doctors, Dr. Sen acknowledged the hospital’s pressing issues. “With all your help, I will try my best to solve all the problems of the hospital,” he said. “I‍‍`m sad to hear that the MRI machine and CT scan equipment are damaged.
