Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md. Sakhawat Hossain Bakul has delivered a stern warning that no bureaucratic delays or negligence will be tolerated in administrative work. Speaking at an exchange of greetings at Monohardi Hindupara Sarbajanin Durgabari Puja Mandap in Narsingdi on Wednesday night, he reiterated the government's zero-tolerance stance on corruption, alongside offering official donations to local temples.
Addressing the audience, the minister noted that public administration runs on taxes paid by everyday citizens and the hard-earned remittances sent by expatriates. Consequently, ordinary people should not have to face administrative hurdles or lengthy delays when seeking services. He stressed that negligence toward public welfare will be addressed firmly, as guaranteeing peaceful citizen services remains the prime duty of the state.
Discussing broader healthcare reforms, Sakhawat Hossain Bakul revealed plans to fundamentally overhaul the sector over the next two years. He pledged that new healthcare buildings will be established in every union council, staffed directly with qualified MBBS doctors to ensure rural women and families receive primary care close to home. He also highlighted the nationwide security measures deployed to maintain communal harmony during this year's Durga Puja.
Chaired by Monohardi Upazila Nirbahi Officer Mahmudul Hasan, the gathering was attended by the Narsingdi Deputy Commissioner, Superintendent of Police, and local community leaders. Following the speeches, the health minister distributed monetary grants and festival gifts to five puja mandaps across Monohardi municipality, prompting local residents to hope that promised grassroots healthcare reforms will be realized quickly.
“The commitment to eliminate bureaucratic sluggishness and deploy MBBS doctors at the union level is promising. However, ensuring doctor retention and accountability at rural health posts has historically been challenging, which will require systemic supervision beyond building new facilities.”
