The river ambulance of Chandpur 250-Bed General Hospital has been lying without any care for the seven years on the premises of Chandpur Civil Surgeon office, near the hospital.
People often raise question about the deplorable condition of this lone river ambulance. Nobody can answer properly to this question about this river ambulance, procured at a cost of Tk 680,000.
After the super cyclone Sidr caused havoc to the country’s riverine areas, including Chandpur district, the higher authorities procured the River Ambulance in 2008 for Chandpur Sadar Hospital for the benefit of the patients living along the river banks.
