Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has urged doctors to dedicate themselves in health services changing mindset.

"If we can set our minds for changing in this situation, then I am sure that 25 per cent of our healthcare services will improve with all the medical equipment or facilities we have."

Prof Yunus was addressing a two-day conference of district civil surgeons at Shapla Hall in Chief Adviser`s Office as the chief guest.

The Chief Adviser, who inaugurated the conference, said people may either get inspired or frustrated by seeing their (people in the health sector) efforts towards health services.

He, however, assured of addressing the requirements in the health sector but laid emphasis on ensuring better efforts from each person involved in the sector which is absolutely possible if due attention is given.

Calling the present moment a "window of opportunity," Prof Yunus noted that global eyes are on Bangladesh, and encouraged all health professionals to seize the moment to better serve the nation.

He also referred to the Health Sector Reform Commission’s recently submitted report, which includes a set of recommendations aimed at systemic improvements.

Health and Family Welfare Adviser Nurjahan Begum also spoke at the event, sharing her observations from surprise visits to various hospitals.

She, in some cases, observed a lack of discipline and accountability. "Without addressing these issues, we cannot expect meaningful success."

The Health Adviser stressed the importance of collaboration between government and non-government organizations to improve healthcare delivery.

Echoing Prof Yunus’ ethos, she added, "Nothing is impossible. Turning the impossible into possible is your responsibility."

The Health Adviser announced plans to recruit 7,000 doctors in phases, along with additional nurses, to strengthen the workforce.
