The health ministry established a three-member high-level panel to conduct its inquiry, while the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) formed a parallel three-member committee. The DGHS-led team is expected to submit its findings on Thursday.
In addition to the official government inquiries, hospital authorities conducted their own internal investigation to review potential procedural failures or professional lapses. That report has already been forwarded to the ministry. Minister Hossain is scheduled to brief the media at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday to discuss the findings and the government’s next course of action.
