Faridpur-3 Constituency Member of Parliament AK Azad said that not only the Ministry’s allocation should be increased, but if the benefits of increased allocation are to reach the people’s doorsteps, corruption must be stopped and accountability must be ensured.
He said that the Prime Minister’s announcement of zero tolerance against corruption, if we cannot go to that place, even increasing the budget will not be of any use.
He said these things at a pre-budget dialogue titled ‘New Government, National Budget and People’s Expectations’ of the CPD-Nagari Platform at a hotel in the capital on Sunday (May 5) morning. At this time, representatives of marginalized communities and civil society presented their budget proposals.
In the next budget, research institute Center for Parisi Dialogue (CPD) and marginalized groups have demanded to increase the allocation in these sectors to ensure the welfare of low-income people and their right to health care and education.
At that time, after listening to everyone’s budget proposals, AK Azad highlighted his own experience and said that after the election, when he went home, about two and a half people came to meet him every day. Of these, 40 percent are in medical advocacy. There are two government hospitals there. Why do so many patients come to me if there are two hospitals? Everyone wants referred to Dhaka. They want to go to Dhaka due to common eye problems. These patients have to be sent to Dhaka with money. They have no place to stay in Dhaka. There is no guarantee that you will be able to get admission just by going to medical school. I paid two people and kept them in Dhaka Medical Emergency so that patients do not return.

Highlighting the mismanagement of the hospitals in his constituency, he said, I sent journalists there. What the journalist said there is that the equipment worth 65 crore rupees is lying useless in Faridpur Bangabandhu Medical. The radiotherapy machine was bought for 18 crore rupees, it has been lying in a box for seven years. Cathlab machines have not been used in seven years due to manpower shortage.
On the one hand, there is a lot of patient pressure in the hospital and on the other hand, the violence of brokers under the hospital. I visited the hospital. I saw many machines broken in the ICU. This is how mismanagement is going on in the hospital. There is a chest hospital. There are no patients. Three patients have been rented out on a monthly basis so that the doctors are properly paid. The budget is going right there.’ He said.
Honorary Fellow of CPD and convener of Citizen Platform Dr. Debapriya Bhattacharya presented the main report in the dialogue.
Deputy Leader of Opposition and former Minister Anisul Islam Mahmud, President of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Planning Ministry and former Planning Minister MA Mannan, core member of Citizen Platform and Executive Director of Mass Literacy Campaign Rasheda K Chowdhury, Honorable Fellow of CPD Professor Mostafizur Rahman were present in the event.
