Speaking at the event, NIHACH President F. A. Shahed said, “Despite constitutional obligations to ensure healthcare for all, the reality is quite different. Millions of people are deprived of basic healthcare services every day. Overcrowded public hospitals suffer from corruption and a lack of compassion.”

General Secretary Sohanur Rahman added, “Due to the deteriorating state of the health sector, many people cannot access medical care, while others are forced to seek treatment abroad. NIHACH continues its movement to reform this situation and ensure quality healthcare for all.”

Founded in 2021, Nirapod Hospital Chai (NIHACH) is a non-political social organization working to eliminate irregularities and corruption in hospitals and to ensure quality treatment through its five-point demands.
