Healthcare development not possible without service mentality: Prime Minister
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman said that if doctors do not have a service mentality, the quality of healthcare can never be improved. He made this remark at a doctors' rally held on the occasion of the 37th founding anniversary of the Doctors Association of Bangladesh (DAB) on Saturday afternoon.

Calling upon doctors, the Prime Minister said everyone must remain vigilant so that political involvement does not disrupt their professionalism. He also said a group is active in destabilising the energy sector, but the government has already taken various plans to solve this problem.

Regarding health policy, Tarique Rahman said the main objective of the current government is 'prevention is better than cure' — that is, giving more importance to preventing diseases than treating them after they occur. He believes that if people are made aware from the beginning about the causes of diseases, prevention and healthy lifestyles, the prevalence of many diseases can be reduced. In this context, quoting American inventor Thomas Edison, he said Edison believed that the future doctor would not only give medicine, but would also make the patient aware of his dietary habits, bodily care and disease prevention — which is also consistent with the current government's health policy.

The Prime Minister informed that the government has taken an initiative to recruit another one lakh health workers, giving importance to disease prevention, who will provide primary healthcare and awareness to the common people. However, he also mentioned that in this regard, doctors will have to take the responsibility of providing proper training to the health workers.

At the beginning of the programme, the Prime Minister planted a neem sapling at the National Parliament premises, and his wife Dr. Zubaida Rahman also planted a tree sapling. Later, after the national anthem was sung, he began the next programme by hoisting the party flag. Before the start of the rally, two pigeons were released as a symbol of peace.
