If you want to know about this, the Health Assistant of Dhantala Community Clinic of Belgacha Union. Mister said, ‘I am on additional duty at that clinic. I don’t know anything about getting medicine in the bath water.
Some residents of Dhantala village said that the community clinic did not provide regular health care, most of the time it was closed. Even when open, patients were often told there was no medicine. But now a large quantity of drugs has been found dumped in the sink, which has sparked outrage among the locals. They believe that the medicines have been thrown away as they have expired. If these medicines are distributed to the patients on time, many people in the Char area would be benefited and the shortage of health care would be greatly reduced.
Islampur Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer A. M. Abu Taher told Prothom Alo that he had heard about medicines floating in water. A three-member investigation committee has already been formed in the incident. The committee has been asked to report within three working days. Necessary action will be taken after receiving the report.
