Underprivileged people receive free medical services in Cox's Bazar
For 50-year-old Chenuara Begum, accessing specialised medical care had always remained beyond her means. Struggling with chronic waist pain, Chenuara's spirits were lifted when she had the opportunity to receive treatment and medication without any cost.
Chenuara Begum's experience is echoed by 3,000 underprivileged individuals in the tourist city of Cox's Bazar.
In commemoration of the 48th martyrdom anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a medical camp was established, offering free specialist medical care to those in need.
