President laid the foundation stone of Pabna Medical College’s 500-bed hospital. Sahabuddin.
The President formally laid the foundation stone of the hospital at the Pabna Medical College campus in Hemayetpur, Pabna at around 11 am on Thursday (September 28).
At that time, he said, instead of the hospital, there was a proposal to modernize Pabna Sadar Hospital. But I thought that the foundation of a medical college is a hospital, so I said that it should not be combined with it. After that I called the health minister, secretary, DG and other concerned people to my Bangabhaban. They are surprised, then, that it has not been presented at the policy-making level in the last 15 years.
He said, after hearing it, the minister accepted it with interest and instructed everyone. Later, the Minister of State for Planning said that it should be proposed anew. After receiving this news, I called the Planning Minister. Then he said, OK, it was given to Ekne in the previous plan. Then passed.
The people of Pabna have long demanded that the 500-bed hospital of Pabna Medical College be completed quickly.
