More hospitals needed in Chittagong

Chittagong is the second largest city of the country. But it is a matter of sorrow that in Chittagong there is no specialised hospital for heart disease. We also need a specialised cancer hospital and an orthopedic hospital. The one and only government-run hospital always remains overcrowded with patients. Moreover, this hospital is understaffed. Many patients have to travel to Dhaka for getting better treatment.

We hope the government will take initiatives to build more hospitals in Chittagong, thereby alleviating the sufferings of the patients.
