BGB brings free healthcare to Bangladesh border residents in Dinajpur

Hundreds of people from Bangladesh's border villages received free medical treatment on Saturday as the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) organized a day-long healthcare camp aimed at improving access to medical services for underserved communities.

The camp was held at Baragram Government Primary School in Dinajpur Sadar Upazila, a border-area locality where residents often face difficulties accessing specialized healthcare because of distance and financial constraints.

From early morning, men, women, children and elderly residents from surrounding villages queued up to receive treatment. A team of specialist physicians provided medical consultations, health advice and distributed medicines free of charge.

The healthcare camp was inaugurated by Colonel Faisal Hasan Khan, Sector Commander of the Dinajpur Sector of BGB. Speaking at the event, he said ensuring access to healthcare is a fundamental right of every citizen and that BGB remains committed to serving border communities beyond its primary responsibility of safeguarding the country's frontiers.

He also said the force would continue undertaking humanitarian and community welfare initiatives and explore opportunities to support employment generation for people living in border areas.

Patients expressed satisfaction with the initiative, saying that traveling to the district headquarters for medical treatment is often costly and time-consuming. Many said the free consultations and medicines had provided much-needed relief and hoped such camps would be organized on a regular basis.

Residents noted that healthcare facilities remain limited in many remote border villages and said sustained outreach programmes could significantly improve access to essential medical services for marginalized communities.
