Important information and necessary issues you want to raise
Palash Upazila health complex is a 31 bedded hospital. It is on the way to upgraded 50 bedded hospital, building has already been handed over but yet not functionally active because of lack manpower and other facilities. Some patient coming to this hospitals are diverted to district hospital to available specialist service. If speacilist doctors are posted here than we can provide them with residence. We are proud to publish local health bulletin which help us to know about our health status, health facilities and health service to our country. We are lacking of Ultrasonogram, Ent Speacilist, Orthopedic surgeon facility which we should get as early as possible for better service. To achieve the target of MDG, the 50 bedded hospital should run as early as possible by filling the all requirments by the government thus people will get better service from this hospital. We hope our people`s and people`s of the world reading our health bulletin informative and up-date and we always seek their invaluable suggestions and comments to better accommodate their information needs. We wish the new year 2016 finds us in good health and better service to the people of Palash upazila. Best regards, Dr.Khondker Sajjad Hossain UH&FPO Upazila Health Complex, Palash, Narsingdi
