Professor MA Faiz has resigned from his position as the chair of the expert panel on health sector reforms.
He submitted his resignation letter to the health secretary on Friday afternoon.
Faiz said that he resigned due to personal reasons, as he felt unable to continue fulfilling his responsibilities.
On August 3, the Ministry of Health formed an 11-member expert panel to address necessary reforms in the country's healthcare system, improve the quality of medical services, and strengthen the healthcare structure.
Former director general of Health Services, MA Faiz, was appointed the panel's chair.
Since its formation, the committee has faced criticism for including only specialist doctors, without involving public health, nutrition, or population experts.
The Doctors' Association of Bangladesh (DAB), a BNP-affiliated organization, officially rejected the committee during a press conference.
