Negligence in health sector under interim rule costs lives: Rizvi

Senior Joint Secretary General of the BNP, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, has said that despite successes in other sectors under the interim government, negligence in the health sector has led to the deaths of children and a deterioration in healthcare services.

Speaking at a BNP rally organised to mark World Health Day on Tuesday morning, Rizvi, who also serves as Adviser to the Ministry of Industries, criticised the performance of the previous administration, alleging that shortcomings in health governance had resulted in serious consequences for public welfare.

He urged the current elected government to prioritise the health sector, particularly the Ministry of Health, and take immediate steps to address the ongoing challenges.
