Hospitals needed


Bangladesh is a third world country and about eighty percent people here are Muslims. Dhaka is known as the city of mosques. Mosques are a place of worship which meet our spiritual needs as well as invigorate our social spirit.

However, we also need hospitals to serve the humanity in distress. In this sector, we are lagging behind. We don't have sufficient numbers of hospitals. The treatment facilities and equipment are so poor in most of these hospitals that we don't get a minimum level of medicare. This is one area where we need to invest a lot more.
