He added, "Two ventilators have been delivered to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital today, while the remaining units are currently being imported."
Recent child deaths at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, attributed to a shortage of ventilators, prompted immediate action from Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Sakhawat Hossain Bakul.
Following a visit to the hospital, Secretary Kamrulzaman Chowdhury stated that the new children's hospital building in Rajshahi was complete, but its launch had been delayed pending essential services and support.
He noted that an outpatient department for children would be opened soon, with plans to gradually develop the facility into a comprehensive children's hospital.
