Public hospitals to have separate units for injured of student movement

Aiming to ensure better treatment for the injured of the anti-discrimination student movement, separate specialised dedicated care units will be formed in all government hospitals in the country.

It has been decided in a meeting between the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement and the authority concerned of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) in Dhaka on Saturday, BSS reports.

In the meeting, it was decided that no one should enter the specialised departments of the hospital except doctors, nurses and legal representatives of the patients as many students and people have been injured seriously and they are undergoing treatment at those departments.

Many patients are suffering from injuries and someone may have risks during post-operation period at the hospital, the meeting was told.

In order to stop the spreading of the diseases, all are asked not to enter the units of the hospital concerned without proper permission.

Additional Director General of DGHS Professor Dr Ahmedul Kabir, DMCH Director Brigadier General Md Asaduzzaman and coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement Sarjis Alam and Hasnat Abdullah were present, among others.
