More than 150,000 people are being deprived of medical service because of acute shortage of doctors, medicines and medical instruments at Lama Upazila Health Complex in Bandarban.Lama Upazila Health Complex has now become a place where people only can get primary treatment as the hospital has no other facilities to provide better service to its patients.
The only x-ray machine of the hospital has been out of order for more than two years. Patients complained that they have to go to Cox’s Bazar, the neighbouring district town of Lama, to get an X-ray service.
The health complex in the hilly area is supposed to have nine doctors while it has only three doctors to serve people. And the irony is, most of the time they remain absent. |
