President Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has stated that most ordinary citizens are deprived of fair medical treatment, noting that accessing healthcare has become increasingly difficult for the general public.

He made these remarks on Friday (November 13) while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the first international conference organised by the Bangladesh Prosthodontic Society at Hotel InterContinental in Dhaka.

President Alamgir emphasised that everyone must work together to fulfil the government’s commitment to making healthcare accessible to all. He stated that public trust in the health system can only be restored by overcoming years of corruption, waste, and mismanagement.

Urging physicians to contribute from their respective positions toward establishing a universal, people-friendly, and affordable healthcare system, the President said, “Let us build a Bangladesh where no one lags behind due to a lack of medical treatment, and every household is filled with open-hearted smiles.”

He further called upon all quarters to abandon confrontational mindsets, prioritise the nation’s interests, and work collectively to meet the public’s expectations for meaningful change.
