A dedicated doctor's demise

TDS's last page news report titled “Doctor for the poor no more”, published on September 2, depicts the greatness of Dr. Edric Baker, a humanitarian doctor who has spent his life serving the poor far away from his home. Nowadays in Bangladesh, we see very few dedicated physicians like him.

Before his death, he was waiting for a successor to take on his responsibility. Will any dedicated young doctor take up this noble venture? Our government should publicly recognise him for his lifelong selfless service to the poor.
