Dhaka: LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir emphasized today that the active cooperation of doctors is essential for building a stronger and more people-oriented healthcare system. The minister delivered these remarks as the chief guest at the First Health Cadre Day 2026 program, organized by the BCS Health Cadre Association at a city hotel.
