Dr. Health Minister urged to focus on the production of medical devices. Samant Lal Sen. He said, medical devices are not made that way in our country. It has to be brought from outside the country. It costs a lot. If it can be manufactured in the country, then treatment will be available in the country. He called upon various companies to take initiative in this regard.
He said these things at a function organized on the occasion of ‘Asia Expo-2024’ at Bangabandhu Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center on Thursday (February 29).
Seeking everyone’s cooperation to improve the health sector, the minister said, I want to make the health system beautiful. So if the price of medicines can be made affordable, then we can do something good for common patients.
Dr. Samant Lal said that no decision has been taken yet to reduce or increase the price of medicine. We will talk about it later.
In the event, President of Bangladesh Medicine Industry Association and Youth and Sports Minister Nazmul Hasan Papon said that the quality of medicine is not good, it is not really medicine. Quality should be given importance first. There is no doubt about the potential of the pharmaceutical industry in the country. Fulfilling the needs of the country is also being sent abroad. I also sent during Corona. Now we have to focus on quality.
Stating that the government always has to face the biggest challenges in the health sector, he said that if we do not work together in the health sector, there may be danger. On the other hand, we have not increased the price of medicines as the production cost of medicines has increased. However, the price of medicine will be adjusted in those places where it has to be adjusted.
Papon also said, such expo will increase the experience of our domestic companies.
