Govt commits to reach health services to peoples doorsteps: Omor Faruque

RAJSHAHI, Nov 17, 2012 (BSS)- State Minister for Industries Omor Faruk Chowdhury has said the government is committed to reach health services towards the doorsteps of poor and distressed people.

Omor Faruk said the government has launched thousands of
community clinics at village level for this purpose.

He made this observation while inaugurating community
clinics at Matikata, Paramandpur and Nalatry under Godagari
upazila of the district separately on Friday.

In last regime of Awami League government, Faruq Chowdhury
said the community clinic had been launched for every 6,000
villagers throughout the country to ensuring their health
services. But, unfortunately, the subsequent four- party alliance
government shuttered down the clinics.

After assuming power, the present government again launched
the clinics. He mentioned that there were 30 community clinics in
the upazila earlier and another four have been launched in
present time. With its own fund, the government constructed the
infrastructures by spending around Taka one crore, he added.

Later, the minister opened Shaheed Minars at Sonadighi High
School, Basudevpur High School and Sultanganj High School under
the same upazila.

Speaking on the occasions, he paid rich tributes to the
language martyrs and urged all quarters to materialize their
dreams and spirit.

Godagari upazila Chairman AKM Ataur Rahman, UNO SM Tuhinur
Alam and other local leaders of Awami League were present on the
occasions.
