BNP to move towards deregulation: Khasru
The private hospitals and clinics must be given the opportunity for self-regulation, he says
The more regulations a sector has, the more corruption there will be, BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmmud Chowdhury said today (30 August).
"We've decided to move towards deregulation. Many might feel they are losing control, but we are moving forward with deregulation and granting freedom," Khasru said at the 'Bangladesh Health Conclave-2025' organised by Bonik Barta at a hotel in the city.
The senior BNP leader said the private hospitals and clinics must be given the opportunity for self-regulation.

"BNP is moving towards self-regulation. I urge you to prepare in advance. Build the necessary capacity for this. It is important to remember that we must move away from conventional investment policies and a controlled system," he added.
Amir Khosru announced that if the BNP comes to power, 5% of the GDP will be allocated to the health sector.
"We've decided to increase investment in primary and preventive healthcare. We (BNP) are bringing a new health policy."
He stated that if people can be given free primary and preventive care, the cost of social security will decrease.
"If a person can reduce family's expenses, their livelihood and living standards will become easier. We're adopting this policy after careful consideration," he added.
