Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Maleque on Sunday said there is no vaccine crisis in the country as 54 lakh vaccines have already arrived this month and another 1.5 crore doses are due by end of the month.
The health minister said this while addressing as chief guest of the orientation programme for the newly recruited junior consultants (Anesthesiologists) at Dhaka’s Osmani Memorial Auditorium Sunday afternoon.
He said appointing at once 409 anesthesiologists in the 6th grade was a huge step during this Covid pandemic.
“The health sector is grateful to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for appointing such a large number of doctors in such a short period of time,” he said.
The minister called upon the newly appointed doctors to work in remote areas of the country shaking off all fears. Promising to take care of the facilities for the newly recruited, he requested the doctors to work in the service of the masses.
Officials of the ministry, members of Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA), doctors and some political leaders were present at the event.
