Balaganj Upazila Health Complex | Health Bulletin 2015 |
Preface
This is the 4th attempt to publishing “ Health Bulletin” of Balaganj upazila of Sylhet district. Last year (2014) we published “ Health Bulletin -2014” which was the third attempt focussing all the health related activities and achievements of Balaganj Upazila for the year -2013. This edition of “Health Bulletin -2015” focuses the achievements of the year – 2014. Although certain constrains are still existing in the health delivery system of the upazila, all the service providers are trying to achieve their best quality of service delivery. The success goes to all who are related to health sector including doctors, nurses and support staff. I strongly believe that this health bulletin will act as a index to evaluate and compare with previous year and also help to enhance the development of health related states and to identify problems for future. We have a mobile phone running round the clock for health service delivery by a qualified doctor; phone no 01730324749. We are running telemedicine service which connects our complicated patients with experts of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital. The readers are requested to consider with sympathy if any unwanted errors still present in this bulletin, please inform the undersigned. With thanks.

Important information and necessary issues for Balaganj Upazila Health Complex
We have a X-Ray machine but it is non-functioning and there is no Medical Technologist (RG). So for better health service X-Ray machine should be made functioning and recruitment of Medical Technologist (RG) is mandatory. We have no Medical Technologist (Lab) and that`s why we can`t do any serological and routine investigation for confirmatory diagnosis of a case. So recruitment of Medical Technologist (Lab) is mandatory. We need a Generator for electric supply during load shedding. We need Senior Staff Nurses. Only 3 SSN out of 10 are available here. Without Senior Staff Nurse proper health service is almost impossible. So Senior Staff Nurses recruitment is mandatory. Dr. Padma Mohan Sinha Upazila Health & Family Planning Officer.
