Deprived of medical facility

People need medical facilities. Unfortunately, about two lakh people of Eadgong area under Cox's Bazar Sadar thana are deprived of health care facilities. The largest bazaar of the district is situated here. People from seven unions are dependent on this bazaar but there is no hospital at all except a family welfare centre. These unions are about 30 to 50 kilometres away from the district town.

Realising the significance of the problem, the government has decided to set up a 20-bed hospital in this area. On behalf of local inhabitants we are committed to donating three acre land for this hospital (near Chittagong- Cox's Bazar highway). The district administration sent necessary documents to the health ministry for final approval of the project about two years ago. But the project is yet to be implemented.

The government should look into the matter immediately.
