During the virtual inauguration, the health minister remarked that by facilitating treatment over phone, the associations have set an example of fulfilling their duties towards the people and the country.

This initiative is also backed by other threedoctors’ associations, Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA), SwadhinataChikitsak Parishad (SWACHIP) and Bangladesh College of Physicians and Surgeons (BCPS).

The leaders of the associations have assured that through these 24-hour hotlines those who are already hospitalized or currently in isolation, waiting on hospital admission, will be provided necessary medical advice by specialist.

They said that people will be able to connect to specialist as well as receive general treatment.
