UN Resolution: Hasina lauds community clinics
GBDESK//
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said her government has been able to provide healthcare services at the door steps of the people up due to the community clinics.
The premier said this at the weekly cabinet meeting held at PMO.
The United Nations on Tuesday unanimously adopted the first-ever resolution on community-based health care. The resolution, titled “Community-based primary health care: a participatory and inclusive approach to universal health coverage,” acknowledged the important role community clinics play in promoting primary healthcare, women’s empowerment, community engagement and mobilisation towards achieving universal access to health.
Hasina mentioned that Bangladesh can share its experience of the community clinics with other UN member states to ensure primary healthcare services in those countries.
She thanked people of Bangladesh for giving her party (Awami League) chance to remain in the power since 2009 that resulted in this achievement.
Elaborating role of the community clinics in achieving targets of ensuring primary health care, she said they played a crucial role in reducing child and maternal mortality rate, and women are also getting health services during their maternity period.
