Govt hospitals prepared for emergencies during Eid

In the event of an emergency they urged people to go the nearby government run hospitals specially in the capital as they are well equipped and able to provide all sorts of treatment. DGHS Director (Hospital and clinic) Prof Dr Shamiul Islam Sady, told the Dhaka Tribune that they have made sure that on duty doctors are present at work during Eid. He said: “From past experience we found that the private hospitals generally deny admitting patients during Eid because they are understaffed during Eid hence we have to ensure that treatment is available during the festival.” An inspection team has also been formed to inspect if any government run hospital deny admitting patients during that time, he added. He said people should go to hospital like Kurmitola hospital, Sohrawardy hospital or Mitford Hospital as they are well equipped to handle emergencies. If needed they would be referred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, said the director.
