Fascists destroyed health sector thru corruption: Sakhawat

Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Hossain has said that the country’s health sector was devastated by corruption and plunder in the past.

The government was working to ensure transparency and accountability in the sector and bring quality healthcare services to people’s doorsteps, he said. 

The minister made the remarks while addressing the inauguration ceremony of a mobile hospital healthcare clinic organised by Rahman Foundation and Shakti in Brahmanbaria’s Kasba on Tuesday.

He said that the health sector had been turned into a hub of corruption, with medical equipment worth crores of taka lying unused.
