Building a sustainable health system without public health experts is impossible: State Minister for Health
State Minister for Health Dr. M A Muhit remarked that a sustainable health system cannot be built only by addressing temporary problems or doing ‘firefighting’. He said there is no alternative to involving public health experts in policy-making and field-level planning to move away from a treatment-dependent model and ensure preventive health care. He said these things in his speech as chief guest at the freshers' reception ceremony of the students of the National Institute of Preventive and Social Medicine (NIPSOM) in Mohakhali, the capital, on Tuesday (November 10).
