Bangladeshi doctors’ professional excellence lauded

Bangladesh High Commissioner to Singapore Md Mustafizur Rahman said Bangladeshi doctors have earned good name and fame for Bangladesh abroad through their professional excellence, hard work and dedication.

He urged the Bangladeshi doctors to utilise their working experience in Singapore, professional expertise and application of the latest technologies for the development of the health sector in Bangladesh.

While addressing a function at the High Commission auditorium recently, the high commissioner also said they can play an important role in portraying a positive image of the country to foreigners, reports UNB.

Bangladesh High Commission in Singapore organised the event titled 'Networking with Bangladeshi Doctors in Singapore,' said the Commission on Tuesday.

A total of 21 Bangladeshi doctors working in different hospitals of Singapore attended the networking event along with their families.

In the interactive session, many doctors said they are facing serious challenges in obtaining Singapore Permanent Residency which in turn is affecting their professional growth, residency, job and training opportunities.

They requested the High Commission to take initiatives to resolve the issue as well as help them get more job opportunities in Singapore.

The High Commissioner assured them of broaching up the concerns of Bangladeshi doctors with the Singapore authority.

The doctors appreciated the initiative of the High Commission for arranging such a networking event for Bangladeshi doctors and their families in Singapore, which they hoped would strengthen the bond of fraternity among the doctors and help them work united way for their cause.
