Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder has called for supplying safe foods to patients admitted to hospitals, as it's very important for their early recovery.
"Rotted and adulterated foods are detrimental to the health of patients. So, utmost importance should be given to ensuring safe food to them," he added.
The minister came up with the observation while addressing the hospital management committee meeting of Niamatpur Upazila Health Complex in Naogaon district on Tuesday as the chief guest, reports BSS.
He said all the doctors, nurses and employees should discharge their duties with the utmost sincerity and honesty for proper management and improving the quality of services in hospitals.
He mentioned that good behaviours of doctors are very significant for the recovery of patients. Doctors should remain absent from prescribing unnecessary antibiotics as it's harmful to the patients instead of benefits in the long term.
Minister Sadhan said the government supplies medicines to the hospitals for distribution among patients free of cost and called for proper monitoring for proper uses of those.
Similarly, he suggested not sending the requisition of unnecessary medicines to the central storage.
With Upazila Chairman Farid Ahmed in the chair, the meeting was addressed, among others, by Upazila Nirbahi Officer Imtiaz Morshed, Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr Mahbubul Alam and Upazila Vice-chairmen Raihan Kabir and Nazmin Ara Khatun.
