Health and Family Welfare Minister and Awami League Presidium Member Mohammad Nasim yesterday said as the chief guest that the doctors should concentrate more on mankind rather than on business while providing medical services to the people. “Merely, increase of medical institutions does not mean that the country has made huge progress in the medical services. The standard of treatment must be raised otherwise, we never can say we have made any progress in the sector,” said the minister.  
This is inhuman when in a private hospital doctors do not let parents of dead child to take the body until they are fully paid. The doctors must their attitude toward their profession, he said.
He came with the observation while speaking at a joint venture agreement signing ceremony of SHIP-AICHI Medical Service Ltd.
“Below the beautiful buildings there must be some kind doctors who would not earn money by making poor people as hostages,” said Mohammad Nasim. He said: “I have no politics in medical sector. Skilled and able people are being created as doctors and also get promotions for their skills only and not through any outer influence. Some 3,000 people in the medical sector got promotions last year by dint of their merits.”
 “People criticize the government without any reason. It is easy to criticize people through writings. Doctors and politicians are sent to jail if they do any wrong. But a sector of people can save them only by saying sorry. But it is true they can not change the government through writings. Only people can change it through their voting,” said the health minister.
Moyazzem Hossain said 20 per cent of the total beds of this new specialized hospital will be allocated for poor and unprivileged people who would get free treatment.
