Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md. Sakhawat Husain on Tuesday warned that no unauthorised or substandard clinics will be allowed to operate as part of ongoing efforts to improve the country’s healthcare services, reports UNB.
“If any clinic fails to maintain minimum medical standards, it will be shut down immediately without delay,” he told reporters at the Secretariat on the first working day after the Eid holidays.
The minister said special inspections and monitoring drives against private clinics in the capital will begin immediately. Strict directives have been issued to ensure quality healthcare, and a ‘zero tolerance’ policy will be enforced against clinic owners found guilty of irregularities.
He added that the monitoring drive, which starts in Dhaka, will gradually be expanded nationwide to uphold healthcare standards across the country.
