Govt. to recruit 2,000 doctors through special BCS exams

Health and Family Welfare Adviser Nurjahan Begum has said that the interim government will recruit 2,000 fresh doctors through special Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) examinations this year.

The adviser unveiled the plan at a program at the Secretariat on Monday.

The Health Ministry signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony with the Railways Ministry to provide medical care to general public at railway hospitals alongside railway staff. 

“There are acute crisis of doctors in our country. To combat the crisis we are expecting to recruit 2,000 fresh doctors through special BCS examinations before October this year,” she said.

Railways Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan said only railway staff get access to the medical care at the hospitals currently. From now on, general public too will be able to avail the medical facilities.

He, however, mentioned it will take some time to the effect of the MoU.
