NARSINGDI, June 13, 2026 (BSS) - Health and Family Welfare Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Husain today said healthcare services would be delivered to patients' doorsteps through a pilot scheme aimed at making medical care more accessible across the country.

Under the scheme, healthcare workers will visit households and provide primary medical services. Patients will be referred to hospitals only if further treatment is deemed necessary, he said.

The minister made the remarks while addressing a programme as the chief guest at the auditorium of Monohardi Upazila Parishad.

"We have plans to simplify healthcare services for all citizens nationwide through this initiative," he said.

"We want to serve all people regardless of political affiliation. No one now needs to pay bribes to receive government services. Our prime minister has strictly instructed everyone to remain free from corruption and work for the people," he added.

Assistant Commissioner (Land) Sajib Mia, Monohardi Upazila BNP Member Secretary Aminur Rahman Sarkar Dolon, Officer-in-Charge of Monohardi Police Station Jahangir Badsha, and Municipal BNP Member Secretary Advocate Abdul Hannan, among others, were present at the programme.

More than 200 poor and underprivileged people from the municipality and different unions received financial assistance at the programme.

The minister later planted and distributed tree saplings.
