Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the country's specialist physicians to spend more time on research alongside attending patients.
Noting that research in our health sector is so far insufficient, she said: “We are yet to achieve our excellence.”
The premier made these observations at the opening ceremony of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Super Specialized Hospital held at the BSMMU on Wednesday.
Re-emphasizing to put concentration on research in the country's medical sector, she expressed gratitude to BSMMU for their existing research works.
Sheikh Hasina said: “BSMMU has to continue their endeavor in developing its education, research and medical activities."
She also called upon all to pay more attention to research to attain excellence in this field.
She appreciated BSMMU's own initiative for the appointment of Professor Emeritus to improve the quality of health education and research as well.
The prime minister urged all of the BSMMU's faculties and researchers to uplift the overall activities of the university to international standards with their wisdom and talent.
