Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Samanta Lal Sen has sought support from the United Kingdom for training doctors and nurses.
The health minister made the appeal when acting British high commissioner to Bangladesh Matt Cannell met him at the health ministry in Dhaka on Sunday.
The minister requested the UK to establish a special medical training institute in Bangladesh.
Lauding the development of Bangladesh's health sector, Cannell said Bangladesh handled the Covid-19 pandemic successfully compared to many other countries, gaining global praise.
"The UK is keen to facilitate further development of Bangladesh's health sector, and the government will consider establishing a special training institute for doctors and nurses in Bangladesh."
Calling for more experience sharing between medical professionals of both countries, he said the UK will send experienced doctors and nurses to Bangladesh.
