Calling the TIB's report on the health sector "false and misleading", Health Minister Zahid Malek said that the TIB had presented a false report on the country's health sector at a time when the country's health sector was being praised globally in the Corona crisis.
The TIB's report was full of misinformation. On Saturday afternoon, the National Institute of Cardiology and Hospital in the capital, the National Institute of Cardiology and Hospital Assistant Professor Dr. Corona. The health minister said this while addressing the chief guest at the prayer mahfil organized on the occasion of the first death anniversary of Mahmud Monwar. Noting that TIB has been fabricating criticism of the health sector from sitting in an air-conditioned room, the health minister said that TIB did nothing on the ground during the difficult times in Corona.
Doctors, nurses and other frontline fighters of the country's health sector have worked in the field. Sitting in an air-conditioned room, they criticized the health sector like memorization. Referring to some criticisms made by the TIB, the health minister further said that the TIB has not increased the covid testing facility in the country. However, the number of covid testing centers in the country has been reduced from just 1 to 510. TIB said the number of corona beds in hospitals has not been increased, but now the number of corona beds in the country is more than 15,000.
A few days ago, about 1000 new covid dedicated beds were added in Dhaka North City Corporation Hospital, where almost all of them have access to central oxygen and half of them have ICU facilities. TIB said the number of ICU beds in the country has not increased. But since the beginning of Corona, the number of ICU beds in the country has been increased by 300 percent. Earlier, there were only 200 ICU beds in the country.
And now the number of ICU beds is more than 1000. TIB has spoken of opacity in the vaccine purchase agreement with India, which is not true at all. Everything from the agreement with India was clear and open like clear water. Everyone in the country knows what was in the agreement with India and why India could not comment on the rest of the agreement. The health minister said the TIB had criticized the health sector only for its criticism, adding that they (the TIB) had criticized the health sector only for its criticism, but they had not commented on why Corona was growing.
Because they did not have any campaign or role in controlling the corona. An agreement has been signed with China on the purchase of vaccines. The minister said the government expects China to take the next step soon.
Zahid Malek also said that fruitful discussions have been held with other countries. Mentioning allegations of corruption in the health sector has now become a 'fashion' for many, the health minister said, adding that word of corruption in the health sector has now become a fashion. However, no one has been able to show any major corruption in the health sector without the news of testing fraud in private hospitals, corruption of a driver or a low-ranking employee or opacity through an isolated official.
In this case, those who have committed irregularities in the health sector have been brought to justice. Mir Jamal Uddin, director of the National Institute of Cardiology, presided over the prayer meeting. Other leaders including Rokeya Sultana.
