Pregnant women suffer in Jhenaidah due to doctor crisis

Mother and child welfare centers in Jhenaidah district are facing a severe doctor crisis. As a result, pregnant women are failing to get necessary medical care and have to rush to distant hospitals, increasing their suffering and health risks.

Built at a cost of about 21 crore taka, four mother and child welfare centers remain underutilized despite having ready infrastructure and equipment due to a lack of doctors. Local residents have demanded the urgent appointment of doctors to fully operationalize the hospitals.
